            • coelom
          • Definition(s)
            • Fluid-filled cavity within the body of an animal; usually refers to a cavity lined with specialized tissue peritoneum in which the gut is suspended. The structure and development of the coelom is an important character for recognizing major groups of animals. ucmp.berkeley.edu - by Enrique Cavalitto
          • Example sentence(s)
            • Simpler animals like cnidarians (jellyfish, coral, etc.) and sponges are diploblastic and monoblastic respectively, lacking a coelom. Though the coelom developed in triploblastic animals, some of these animals have lost their coeloms. - wiseGEEK by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Flatworms would have lost the coelom secondarily. Since their acoelomate condition is no longer indicative of a primitive origin, most of their characters put them in the protostomes, with the spiralian phyla. - CBS Interactive Inc. BNET by Enrique Cavalitto
            • Functionally, a coelom can absorb shock or provide a hydrostatic skeleton. - nationmaster.com by Enrique Cavalitto
