Why is the body cavity of Ascaris suum known as pseudocoelem?

The term "pseudocoelom" refers to how the body cavity appears in the embryo of an organism. As you probably know, the bilaterians (all organisms with left-right symmetry, and the echinoderms for phylogenetic reasons) have three layers of tissue in the embryo: the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm. In the "true" coelomates, the body cavity ("coelom") is completely surrounded by mesodermal tissue. In the pseudocoelomates, though, the body cavity is partly surrounded by mesoderm but partly surrounded by endoderm.

It should be noted that, given our current understanding, the pseudocoelomates do not form a valid taxonomic group. In previous years, the various groups of pseudocoelomates, including the roundworms (Phylum Nematoda), wheel animals (Phylum Rotifera), and others were lumped into one group called the "ascelminthes". Modern fossil and genetic evidence, however, shows that the pseudocoelom has appeared multiple times independently in the animal kingdom.

Can dogs give you worms?

YES....

There are several types of worms that dogs can have in which you will not see the worm itself because the adult worms live in the intestines and the worms Larva/eggs which can be rather tiny are expelled in the dogs fecies..

You can have your dog tested for worms at the vet and treated if need be...

If you can not afford a vet visit and suspect your dog to have worms then you can purchase a de-wormer medication from the pet store,then follow the directions and monitor the dogs droppings,within the first two days of being medicated you will definitely be able to see the adult worms in the fecies..

All puppies should also be wormed at a certain age,check with the pet store or the vet.

2nd Answer:

Round worms when passed look like long strands of spaghetti and with tapeworms, sometimes you will see the egg segments that they pass which will look like tiny grains of rice. The best thing to do is to take a fecal sample in to your Vet's, collected from over a period of 2 days & have it checked. As said above, sometimes the eggs will not always show up, especially tapeworm eggs. If you see roundworms, be sure to repeat the deworming within 10-14 days from the date of the first deworming.
