 What is the difference between no body cavity, Flase body cavity and true body cavity..

Please be simplified....

The body of some animals is made up of three layers of cells, the outer ectoderm, the middle mesoderm and the inner endoderm. The body cavity or the coelom is the space enclosed by the mesoderm where the internal organs are suspended. Some animals do not have a true coelom but the mesoderm is present in scattered pouches. Such animals are said to be pseudocoelomic or false coelom. For example Phylum Nematoda. The animals that do not have body cavity are called acoelomate and the animals that have a true body cavity are known as coelomic or eucoelomic. For example, phylum Annelida.

The type of body cavity places an organism into one of three groups

  • Coelomates or Coelomata (also known as eucoelomates — "true coelom") have a fluid filled body cavity called a coelom (pron.: /ˈsiːləm/) with a complete lining called peritoneum derived from mesoderm (one of the three primary tissue layers). The complete mesoderm lining allows organs to be attached to each other so that they can be suspended in a particular order while still being able to move freely within the cavity. Most bilateral animals, including all the vertebrates, are coelomates.
  • Pseudocoelomate animals have a pseudocoel (literally “false cavity”), which is a fully functional body cavity. Tissue derived from mesoderm only partly lines the fluid filled body cavity of these animals. Thus, although organs are held in place loosely, they are not as well organized as in a coelomate. All pseudocoelomates are protostomes; however, not all protostomes are pseudocoelomates. An example of a Pseudocoelomate is the roundworm. Pseudocoelomate animals are also referred to as Hemocoel and Blastocoelomate.
  • Acoelomate animals, like flatworms, have no body cavity at all. Organs have direct contact with the epithelium. Semi-solid mesodermal tissues between the gut and body wall hold their organs in place.
