coelom
Romanian translation:
celom
English term
coelom
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)
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)
Functionally, a coelom can absorb shock or provide a hydrostatic skeleton. (nationmaster.com)
