Lower phyla in the animal kingdom such as Cnidarians, Porifera, and Ctenophora.
Animals with a body cavity lined with tissue from the mesoderm are known as coelomates. This type of body plan is found in more complex animals such as annelids, mollusks, arthropods, echinoderms, and chordates. Having a coelom allows for more complex organ systems and better body movement.
Pisces or fish have true internal body cavity.
Body cavity or coelom is generally the third most important criteria, after levels of organisation and body symmetry, in the classification of animals. Animals can be classified into four types on the basis of the type of body cavity they possess:Acoelomate (coelom absent): includes animals like sponges, coelenterates and flatworms,Pseudocoelomate (false coelom present): includes roundworms, andEucoelomate (true coelom present): includes all chordates, besides rest of the invertibrates.
Acoelomate
Coelom is a greek work literally meaning body cavity.A body cavity is a space between the alimentary canal and body wall. When it is lined by a layer of mesoderm, then it is called a true coelom. Depending upon this the animals are classified intoAcoelomates - Animals which don't have body cavity. Eg: PlatyhelminthesPseudocoelomates - Animals in which the body cavity is formed from embryonic blastocoel. This blastocoel acts as a body cavity in adults. Eg: AschelminthesSchizocoelomates - Animals in which the body cavity formed by splitting of mesoderm. Eg: Annelida, Arthropoda and MolluscaEnterocoelomates - Animals in which body cavity is derived from entero-mesoderm. Eg: Echinodermata, Hemichordata and chordata.
A coelom is a fluid-filled body cavity found in many animals, including humans. It serves to cushion and protect internal organs, as well as providing a space for them to move independently of the body wall. This cavity is lined by a membrane called the peritoneum.
The type of body cavity shared by all mollusks is pseudocoelom is a false statement. The correct answer is coelom.
eucoelomate (true guts) possessing a cavity coelom between the body wall and the gut. (zoology)
Body cavities in organisms are referred to as coeloms, and animals that have them are called coelomates. An organism that has a false body cavity, or a psuedocoelom, are called psuedocoelomates.
A clam has a coelom, which is a fluid-filled body cavity. This cavity provides space for internal organs to develop and function properly.
One of the first animals to develop a true body cavity was roundworms, also known as nematodes. This body cavity, called a pseudocoelom, helped provide support and structure to their bodies, allowing for more efficient movement and organ function.
