Summary Introduction

To write:

The differences between coelom and pseudocoelom

Introduction:

Animal body plans with bilateral symmetry include the gut, which is either a sac within the body or a tube flowing through the body, where food is digested. A saclike gut has one opening i.e. a mouth for food intake and waste disposal. A tube-like gut has a mouth and anus opening at both sides, and is a complete digestive organ.

Explanation of Solution

Coelom	Pseudocoelom
1. It is a fluid-filled body cavity that has tissue formed from mesoderm that lines the organs in the coelom and encloses them.	It is a cavity of the body filled with fluid that forms between the mesoderm and the endoderm instead of forming entirely inside the mesoderm as in coelomates.
2. Specialized organs and body systems that created from mesoderm formed in the coelom.	The pseudocoelomates body cavity separates mesoderm and endoderm, which limit the development of system, tissue, and organ.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that coelom and pseudocoelom are different from each other in their nature and function.
