Examples

  • The existence of two renal organs in Patella, and their relation to the pericardium (a portion of the coelom), is important.

  • Some of the endothelial cells lining the coelom are ciliated, the cilia keeping the corpusculated fluid contents in movement.

  • In Crania it is completely shut off from the main coelom, but in Lingula it communicates freely with this cavity.

  • When the mesoderm develops into two plates, a cavity, called the Primitive Coelom, appears between the plates.

  • There should also be only a single coelom, or a pair of lateral coelomic cavities.
