As blood and tissue fluids pool into the wound, they are sucked up by the
hypostome, which also anchors the tick into the skin by means of the recurved hooks.

Hypostome sp.
The alimentary canal is visible on the occipital ring, but its anterior continuation on the glabella is not known, as the axial part of the cephalon shows only the lower ventral surface of the
hypostome (Hy in Fig.
Its longitudinally conducted impulses are thought to be generated in a circumferential nerve ring located just below the
hypostome (Passano and McCullough, 1963; Kass-Simon, 1972; Kass-Simon and Passano, 1978; Kinnamon and Westfall, 1981; Koizumi et al, 1992), but may also originate elsewhere in the ectoderm of the body column (Kass-Simon, 1970).
Ticks feed exclusively on blood, and begin by cutting a small hole into the host epidermis with their chelicerae and inserting the
hypostome into the cut, thereby attaching to the host.

Hypostome subrectangular in shape and cone shaped distally, with 4 pairs simple hypognathal setae (hg1-hg4) and 2 pairs adoral setae, with dot like lobes (Fig.
For instance, immunoreactivity to the neuropeptide FMRFamide is broadly distributed in cnidarians and has been detected in the head (in both the
hypostome and tentacles), base, and body column of hydra (Grimmelikhuijzen, 1983b; Grimmelikhuijzen et al., 1989).
The key character of the 'Corynexochida' is fusion between the
hypostome and the rostral plate, but the condition is often unknown and occasionally known to be different (for instance in Ogygopsis and dinesids; see also Hopkins & Webster 2009 and Robison & Babcock 2011).
Zooanthellate digestive cells of Myrionema ambionense have two general shapes: columnar from the
hypostome (= cup) region of the hydranth (also called digestive cells here, Fig.
