Taenia saginata versus solium Scolex Hooked-Rostellum Discriminator
Retrieve armed versus unarmed scolex morphology hints without diagnosis. Bounded exact-key educational reference only; observations and applicability must be established independently.
Description
Retrieve armed versus unarmed scolex morphology hints without diagnosis.
Scolex structures can support a tapeworm morphology review while remaining insufficient for a definitive species conclusion on their own. This tool provides stored notes for two selected descriptions.
When to use this tool
Retrieve armed versus unarmed scolex morphology hints without diagnosis.
- Prepare the supplied key fields for this operation.
- Compare the complete example with the representation used by your own input before carrying the result into another step.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter key. Use the exact text syntax, units and index conventions explained below.
- Run the tool. If input validation fails, correct the supplied fields before interpreting any result.
- Read result.reference. Interpret false, null and empty lists using the distinctions below; they can be valid outputs.
Supply key exactly as one of "hooked-rostellum", "unarmed". Check for that own key in the fixed local table and return its stored reference text unchanged. An unsupported key is an input error, rather than a null result; there is no network request, fuzzy matching or dynamic text generation.1
| Input field | Meaning and representation | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| key | Exact stored-entry key; spelling and case must match. | "hooked-rostellum", "unarmed" |
| Output field | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| result | Object containing the named outputs below. |
| result.reference | The unchanged stored text for the supported exact key; unsupported keys cause an input error. |
{
"input": {
"key": "hooked-rostellum"
},
"output": {
"result": {
"reference": "Supports review for an armed Taenia scolex such as T. solium; not definitive species identification."
}
}
}Limitations and assumptions
- No specimen is examined and no species is diagnosed. The caller chooses the feature label; the lookup does not verify hooks, suckers or other necessary identifying evidence.
- Every declared top-level field is required and unexpected fields are rejected. Numeric inputs must be finite; ordinary text fields are bounded to 8,192 UTF-16 code units, with tighter operation-specific limits where stated.
- Ordinary string lists have at most 128 entries of at most 128 code units each; numeric lists and matrices have separate bounded size checks. Nonfinite results and excessively large serialized outputs are rejected.
- Indexes are zero-based and spans have an exclusive end unless explicitly stated otherwise. A valid false, null or empty-list result is distinct from malformed input.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Combine recorded observations with a validated method, appropriate controls and the complete specimen context. Use original qualified references when reviewing species, stages or product information; a supplied-record match, sample ratio or historical flag is only the stated piece of evidence.
