Pseudocoelom

Description

Pseudocoelom refers to a fluid-filled body cavity found in certain invertebrates, serving as a space between the gut and the body wall. Unlike a true coelom, a pseudocoelom lacks a lining derived from mesoderm. This cavity allows for internal organs to be suspended and provides a means for transport of nutrients and waste products.

Sample Sentences

• The pseudocoelom in roundworms enables the movement of their internal organs.
• As a pseudocoelomate organism, the nematode has a fluid-filled body cavity.
• Researchers are studying the development of the pseudocoelom in various species of insects.
