Tegument Physiology

Tegument Physiology is a specialized subfield of parasitic physiology that pertains to the study of the structure, function, and biochemical properties of the tegument—the dynamic, syncytial outer epithelial layer unique to parasitic flatworms—emphasizing its roles in nutrient uptake, immune evasion, and host-parasite interface regulation.
