		All have a cavity known as a coelom -- presumably inherited from a common ancestor.
		In arthropods and mollusks, the coelom is reduced in size and the principal body cavity is part of the blood circulation system called a haemocoel.
		The coelom may be subdivided into "subcavities" such as the pericardial cavity around the heart.

		In animals of the phyla Annelida, Mollusca, and Arthropoda, the mesoderm forms as a mass of tissue from special embryonic cells between an outer layer, the ectoderm, and an inner layer, the endoderm.
		The structure of the embryonic coelom is relatively simple; in an adult other organs push into the coelomic cavity, and it is also subdivided into compartments, e.g., the pericardial cavity, in which the heart develops.
		The acoelomate theory holds that it evolved from an acoelomate ancestor; the enterocoel that it evolved from gastric pouches of cnidarian ancestors.

		The coelom is lined throughout by cells, which upon the intestine become large and loaded with excretory granules, and are known as chloragogen cells.
		Rarely the nephnidium does not communicate with the coelom; in such cases the nephridium ends in a single cell, like the flame cell of a Platyhelminth worm, in which there is a lumen blocked at the coelomic end by a tuft of fine cilia projecting into the lumen.
		These regions of the coelom end at the nds of the body and communicate with each other by means of a,ranched system of coelomic sinuses, which are in places very fine,ubes.

		the Amphioxus the coelom is developed in the embryo as a series of bilateral pouches, called enterocoeles, from the sides of the alimentary canal; these are therefore entodermal in their origin, as in Sagitta and the Echinodermata among the invertebrates.
		In the adult the development of the atrium causes a considerable reduction of the coelom, represented by two dorsal coelomic canals communicating with a ventral canal by means of branchial canals which run down the outer side of the primary gill bars.
		In the Elasmobrancif fish there is a per-icardio-peritoneal canal forming a communication between these two parts of the coelom; also a large common opening for the two oviducts in the region of the liver, and two openings, called abdominal pores, on to the surface close to the cloacal aperture.

		Coelom.The Chaetopoda are characterized by a spacious coelom, which is divided into a series of chambers in accordance with the general metamerism of the body.
		This is the typical arrangement, which is exhibited in the majority of the Polychaeta and Oligochaeta; in these the successive chambers of the coelom are separated by the intersegmental septa, sheets of muscle fibres extending from the body wall to the gut and thus forming partitions across the body.
		Thus in the Chaetopoda the perivisceral cavity is coelomic; in this respect the group contrasts with the Arthropoda and Molluscs, where the perivisceralcavity is, mainly at least, part of the vascular or haemal system, and agrees with, the Vertebrata.

	Body cavity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A body cavity is an aspect of a number of basic animal body plans (phyla) that incorporate a central body cavity, known as a coelom.
		The coelom contains major organs, including the digestive system, heart, kidneys, etc. The coelom has two openings for the input of food and ejection of waste.
		In arthropods and mollusks, the coelom is reduced in size, and the principal body cavity is part of the blood circulation system called a hemocoel.

		The intraembryonic coelom is the primitive cavity that lies within the developing embryo that will form the 3 major body cavities: pericardial, pleural, peritoneal.
		The coelom forms very early in embryogenesis and is much later paritioned inferiorly by the diaphragm and pleuroperitoneal membrane; and superiorly initially by the pleuropericardial fold between the heart and lungs.
		The intraembryonic coelom communicated through coelomic portals (at the level of midgut herniation) with the extraembryonic coelom.

		In the early stages of embryological development, the coelom is a continuous cavity along the entire length of the trunk divided into right and left halves by the dorsal and ventral mesenteries.
		However, as development continues and the coelom is subdivided, different names are given to this lining based on its location and what it covers.

	American Zoologist: Are platyhelminthes coelomates without a coelom? An argument based on the evolution of Hox genes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Since the coeloms of protostomes and deuterostomes, being formed differently, are not thought to be homologous (Nielsen, 1995), this position is compatible with the planula hypothesis.
		Conversely to the planuloid scheme, the archecoelomate theory postulates that the ancestor of all Bilateria was a coelomate organism whose coelomic cavities were derived from gut pouches similar to the ones existing in anthozoan cnidarians.
		The theory is deeply linked to the concept of enterocoely, which means that the ancestral way in which the coelom forms in the embryo is by outpocketing of the gut wall, as is seen in most deuterostomes, some lophophorates and chaetognaths.

		Usually there is a hollow space around the gut, called the coelom, arising from a split within the mesoderm, or at least some reduced version thereof (eg a pseudocoelom, where the split occurs between the mesoderm and endoderm, common in microscopic forms).
		Some of the main protostome phyla are united by the presence of trochophore larva, which are distinguished by a special pattern of cilia.
		The mesoderm and coelom do not form in the same way, but rather through evagination of the endoderm called enterocoelic pouching.

		The coelom is defined as a fluid-filled body cavity that appears within mesoderm in the course of an embryo's development.
		So when the circular muscles contract the forces they develop as they constrict the segment, reducing its girth, are translated by the coelomic fluid (fluid skeleton) into forces directed anteriorly and posteriorly against the septa.
		The coelomic fluid will translate the forces to act outward from the gut toward the body wall and this will stretch the circular muscles back to their pre-contracted state.
