The differences between coelom and pseudocoelom
Introduction:
Animal body plans with bilateral symmetry include the gut, which is either a sac within the body or a tube flowing through the body, where food is digested. A saclike gut has one opening i.e. a mouth for food intake and waste disposal. A tube-like gut has a mouth and anus opening at both sides, and is a complete digestive organ.
Explanation of Solution
Coelom | Pseudocoelom |
1. It is a fluid-filled body cavity that has tissue formed from mesoderm that lines the organs in the coelom and encloses them. | It is a cavity of the body filled with fluid that forms between the mesoderm and the endoderm instead of forming entirely inside the mesoderm as in coelomates. |
2. Specialized organs and body systems that created from mesoderm formed in the coelom. | The pseudocoelomates body cavity separates mesoderm and endoderm, which limit the development of system, tissue, and organ. |
Therefore, it can be concluded that coelom and pseudocoelom are different from each other in their nature and function.
