The?coelom? is the main?body cavity?in most animals[2]?and is positioned inside the body to surround and contain the?digestive tract?and other organs. In developed?animals, it is lined with a mesodermal?epithelium. In other animals, such as?molluscs, it remains undifferentiated

Coelom formation begins in the?gastrulastage. The developing digestive tube of an embryo forms as a blind pouch called the?archenteron.

In?Protostomes, the coelom forms by a process known as?schizocoely. The?archenteron?initially forms, and the?mesodermsplits into two layers: the first attaches to the body wall or?ectoderm, forming the?parietal layer?and the second surrounds the?endodermor?alimentary canal?forming the?visceral layer. The space between the parietal layer and the visceral layer is known as the coelom or body cavity.

In?Deuterostomes, the coelom forms by?enterocoely:?mesoderm?buds from the walls of the?archenteron?and hollows to become the coelomic cavities.
