The coelomic fluid acts as a hydrostatic skeleton in some organisms, such as annelids. The pressure of the fluid is used to produce movement, such as burrowing. It is also important for osmoregulation and circulation.

What is the function of coelomic cavity the starfish?
The coelomic cavity in general holds organs in place.
What structure do mollusks use to extract useful molecules from coelomic fluid?
nephridia
What is a velocity potential?
A velocity potential is a scalar function whose gradient is equal to the velocity of the fluid at that point. If a fluid is incompressible and has zero viscosity (an ideal fluid) its velocity as a function of position can always be described by a velocity potential. For a real fluid this is not generally possible.
What is the function of the serous fluid?
excretion, digestion, respiration
What is the function of the fluid secreted by the prostate gland?
It is an Alkaline fluid that is released in the semen to resist the acidity of the vagina
What is the Coelom function?

What is the difference between coelomic fluid and vermiwash?
In my opinion and the way I practice, earthworms are directly (known weight of earthworms) are added to a tray containing known volume of luke warm water(37 to40C) and agitated for about 30 to 60Sec. The heat shock makes them to throw out the coelomic fluid through dorsal pores and the mouth in to tray. T he earthworms are collected back and added in to other tray containing water at room temperature. This helps them to overcome shock and the fluid sticking to their body mixes with the water. Earthworms will be safe and can be left back in to their bins. Mix the water in two trays and this will be the vermiwash or it is coelomic fluid in diluted form. As one is washing the earthworms in water, it is called vermiwash. Coelomic fluid can be collected dirctly from the coelomic cavity by subjecting earthworms to cold shock or mild electric shocks. This is carried out to understand various components in coelomic fluid for scientific investigations. Vermiwash can be used as spray in nurseries.
What is the function of the cocoon in an earthworm?
Prevents the worm form dessication (drying out).
Are echinoderms pseudocoelomic?
No. they are coelomic
Do mollusk have a coelom?
Yes, they are truly coelomic.
What has the author Laura G Pierce written?
Laura G. Pierce has written: 'Characterization of putative recognition components of echinoderm coelomic fluid' -- subject(s): Hemagglutinin, Sea urchins
What is coelom and give its types?
coelom is a fluid filled cavity within the body between the epidermis and gut it is derived from mesoderm there are three types of coelomic cavity they are coelomemates psuedo coelomates and acoelomates
Brittle star coelom type?
Brittle stars have a complex coelomic system, consisting of a spacious coelomic cavity that accommodates their internal organs. This coelomic system aids in internal transport, support, and protection of organs.
