Q

What are blastocoelomates and acoelomates?

A

Blastocoelomates - gut isn’t mesodermally derived, but has a body cavity. Only the outer wall is mesodermally derived.
Acoelomates - has a solid mesoderm, so no body cavity.

A

Improves peristaltic movement.
Can have segmental polymorphism, each segment specialised for a specific function.
Can easily grow or regenerate by adding more segments.

95
