Q

Significance of Coelom

A

1) Allows tube-within-a-tube body plan
 body wall is outer tube
 inner tube is digestive tube
 attached at both ends
 can move food independently of body movement
2) Allows for an enclosed compartment
(or series of compartments) of fluid under
pressure
 4) A space in which internal organs develop
 including gonads
 Most have well developed circulatory, excretory,
and nervous systems
 5) Helps transport materials
 Food, oxygen and wastes
 Cells bathed by coelomic fluid can exchange
material
 6) Protects internal organs
 Suspended within folds of tissue lining
 cushions
 3) Serve as hydrostatic skeleton
 contracting muscles push against tube of
fluid allowing for a greater range of
movement
 gives body shape to some animals
(structure = function)
 swimming, crawling, or walking
