Added a label for the buccal overture, a structure frequently mislabeled as the cytostome on diagrams of Paramecium. For an accurate representation of these structures, see: Ralph Wichterman, The Biology of Paramecium, 2nd Edition, 1986 (fig. 1.3A, on... 19:47, 5 June 2017: 1,142 × 1,007 (149 KB) Deuterostome: Lengthened buccal cavity, for ...

English: Paramecium diagram. The parts are as follows: 1) food vacuoles 2) micronucleus 3) oral groove 4) gullet 5) anal pore 6) contractile vacuole 7) macronucleus 8) cilia. Paramecium move by executing a whiplash movement with the cilia.
Paramecium caudatum [1] is a species of unicellular protist in the phylum Ciliophora. [2] They can reach 0.33 mm in length and are covered with minute hair-like organelles called cilia. [3] The cilia are used in locomotion and feeding. [2] The species is very common, and widespread in marine, brackish and freshwater environments. [4] [5]
The question of whether Paramecium exhibit learning has been the object of a great deal of experimentation, yielding equivocal results. However, a study published in 2006 seems to show that Paramecium caudatum may be trained, through the application of a 6.5 volt electric current, to discriminate between brightness levels. [29]

Stages of conjugation Stages of conjugation in Paramecium caudatum. In Paramecium caudatum, the stages of conjugation are as follows (see diagram at right): Compatible mating strains meet and partly fuse; The micronuclei undergo meiosis, producing four haploid micronuclei per cell. Three of these micronuclei disintegrate. The fourth undergoes ...
