Question

Why ascheminthes are referred as pseudocoelomates while they have a body cavity in them?

Answer 1

HEY THERE !


Aschelminthes though have a body cavity but they are often referred to as "PSEUDOCOELOMATES" because :


→ First of all coelomate organisms have a coelom which is derived from 'mesoderm' 

→ But in the case of the phylum aschelminthes , they have a coelom which is derived from " blastocoel". 

→Their body cavity is not lined by mesoderm..instead it is found scattered in 'PSEUDOCOELOM'.
