Best Answer

The blastocoel has two main functions. 1.It permits cell migration during gastrulation.

2.It prevents the animal cells, destined to become ectoderm, from premature induction by the underlying vegetal cells into mesoderm.

How does the morula stage of sea star development differ from the blastula stage?

The blastula is a single-layered ball with a fluid-filled cavity called the BLASTOCOEL in the middle (which the morula stage lacks). --Side note: The morula is a ball of cells about the same size as the original zygote and the large number of embryonic cells of the morula arrange themselves into a blastula, with the blastocoel in the middle.

What is a coelom body plan?

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.
