Explain the classification animals on the basis of the type of body cavity present. Use correct

terminology and give an example of each. What will be an ideal response?


The classification of animals according to body cavity pertains only to triploblastic organisms. Such
animals can be classified as follows:Acoelomate
animals lack a body cavity; an example is a flatworm
Pseudocoelomate animals have a body cavity that is found between tissue that develops from
endoderm and tissue that develops from mesoderm; an example is a nematode.
Coelomate animals have a body cavity that is completely lined with tissue that develops from
mesoderm; an example is a dog.
