acoelomates
coeloms developed in triploblasts but were subsequently lost in several lineages. the lack of a coelom is correlated with a reduction in body size. coelom is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to any developed digestive tract. some organisms may not possess a coelom or may have a false coelom (pseudocoelom). animals having coeloms are called coelomates, and those without are called acoelomates. there are also subtypes of coelom:









































bullet::::- schizocoelom: develops from split in mesoderm found in annelids, arthropods and molluscs









































bullet::::- haemocoelom: true coelom reduced & cavity filled with blood found from arthropoda and mollusca
coelom
mammalian embryos develop two cavities: the intraembryonic coelom and the extraembryonic coelom (or chorionic cavity). the intraembryonic coelom is lined by somatic and splanchnic lateral plate mesoderm, while the extraembryonic coelom is lined by extraembryonic mesoderm. the intraembryonic coelom is the only cavity that persists in the mammal at term, which is why its name is often contracted to simply "coelomic cavity". subdividing the coelomic cavity into compartments, for example, the pericardial cavity / pericardium, where the heart develops, simplifies discussion of the anatomies of complex animals.
