The Coelem Flashcards
What is a coelem
A fluid filled cavity btw the 2 layers of the mesoderm in some triploblastic metazoans
Absence of body cavity is know as
Acoelomate
Vertebrates constitute ______% of the animal kingdom
3%
A body cavity that is not a product of gastriculation is
Psuedocoel
In cnidarians ______ is found btw the endoderm and ectoderm
Mesoglea
Mesenchyme/parenchyma is found btw the ectoderm and endoderm in
Platyhelminthes
The first cavity to appear during embryonic development is
Blastocoel
Blastocoel is also called
Primary body cavity
The solid parenchyma forms in the blastocoel of
Acoelomates
The cavity left by failure of parenchyma to completely fill the space btw the mesoderm of the body wall and gut wall is called
Psuedocoel
Psuedocoel is a derivative of
Blastocoel
No muscle layer is present gut wall of
Psuedocoelomates
Psuedocoel is found in which major phylum
Nematoda
The fluid in coelemic cavity is in direct contact with the body or gut wall
False
The coelom is completely surrounded by
Mesodermal tissue
Peritoneal epithelium (peritonium) separates
The coelomic fluid from the gut and body wall
The outer part of the mesoderm becomes intimately associated with
The body walls
