Science - Zoology
English term or phrase: coelom
Definition from ucmp.berkeley.edu:
Fluid-filled cavity within the body of an animal; usually refers to a cavity lined with specialized tissue peritoneum in which the gut is suspended. The structure and development of the coelom is an important character for recognizing major groups of animals.

Example sentence(s):
  • Simpler animals like cnidarians (jellyfish, coral, etc.) and sponges are diploblastic and monoblastic respectively, lacking a coelom. Though the coelom developed in triploblastic animals, some of these animals have lost their coeloms. wiseGEEK
  • Flatworms would have lost the coelom secondarily. Since their acoelomate condition is no longer indicative of a primitive origin, most of their characters put them in the protostomes, with the spiralian phyla. CBS Interactive Inc. BNET
  • Functionally, a coelom can absorb shock or provide a hydrostatic skeleton. nationmaster.com

Example sentence(s):
  • El celoma és una cavitat secundària d'origen mesodèrmic, limitada per l'epiteli (a diferència del pseudoceloma), i que conté un líquid a l'interior. - Viquipèdia  
  • Aquesta nova capa de cèl.lules omple el blastocel i es disposa de manera similar a una pila de tres pneumàtics, tot deixant en el seu interior una nova cavitat anomenada celoma. - Xtec  
  • Els deuterostomats formen l’anus a partir del blastopor, essent la boca de nova formació. A més, formen el mesoderm a partir de les cèl·lules endodèrmiques de la paret del tub digestiu, i la formació del celoma es de tipus enterocèlic. - Tesis en Xarxa
