Examples of acoelomate in the following topics:
-
- Triploblasts can be differentiated into three categories: those that do not develop an internal body cavity called a coelom (acoelomates), those with a true coelom (eucoelomates), and those with "false" coeloms (pseudocoelomates) .
- Triploblasts that do not develop a coelom are called acoelomates: their mesoderm region is completely filled with tissue.
- Flatworms in the phylum Platyhelminthes are acoelomates.
- Triploblasts may be (a) acoelomates, (b) eucoelomates, or (c) pseudocoelomates.
- Acoelomates have no body cavity.
-
- Phylum Platyhelminthes is composed of the flatworms: acoelomate organisms that include many free-living and parasitic forms.
- The flatworms are acoelomates: their bodies are solid between the outer surface and the cavity of the digestive system.
