What is the relationship between germinal layers and the formation of body cavity in case of coelomate, acoelomates and pseudocoelomates?
There are three germinal layers: ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. Presence or absence of a cavity between the body wall and gut wall is very important in classification. The body cavity lined by mesoderm is called coelom. The animals having coelom are called coelomates. In coelomates, body cavity arises as a cavity in embryonic mesoderm. In this, mesoderm of embryo provides cellular lining to the cavity and coelom is filled with coelomic fluid, E.g., annelids, echinoderms, and chordates. In Pseudocoelomata, body cavity is derived from blastocoel of the embryo and the coelom is not lined by mesoderm. Instead, mesoderm is present as scattered pouches in between the ectoderm and mesoderm. Such a coelom is called pseudocoelom. Aschelminthes are pseudocoelomates. Acoelomates are those animals in which the body cavity is absent i.e., they do not have coelom. E.g., sponges, cnidarians, ctenophores, flatworms.
Sort out the animals on the basis of their symmetry (radial or bilateral) coelenterates, ctenophores, annelids, arthropods, and echinoderms.
