Is this a quiz ? Off the top of my head..... flagellar bundle
(several folded strands of flagellum running longitudinally and
bisecting the cyst), parabasal bodies (2, comma-shaped features oriented
transverse to the flagella, nuclei (either 4 or 2, usually, depending
on the developmental stage of the cyst). Some say an axoneme is visable
but I've never seen it.
