Question

Which of the following statements are accurate? (MORE THAN ONE OPTION)

A. Pseudocoelomates do not have a functioning internal body cavity between the digestive tract and body wall
B. A body cavity can cushion suspended organs.
C. A fluid or air-filled body cavity present in many triploblastic animals is also known as a coelom
D. A true coelom is formed from the mesoderm.
E. A body cavity prevents internal organs from growing and moving independently of one another

Answer 1

Answer: Option B,C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Body cavity is a space or fluid filled space in the body that accommodate and protect internal organs and structures.

The two largest body cavities in humans are ventral and dorsal cavities.

Coelom is the fluid or air filed body cavity present in tripoblastic animals. It surrounds and contain digestive tracts and other organs. True coelom is formed from mesoderm.

Answer 2

Options B,C and D are correct.

Options A and E are wrong because:

A. Pseudocoelomates posses a body cavity that is derived partly from mesoderm and partly from endoderm tissue.

E. The body cavity does not prevent internal organs from growing independently rather it allows the internal organs to move and grow independently.
