Question

How do coelomates arise from mesoderm?

Solution

Coelomates are animals which have a coelom (body cavity) between their mesoderm and endoderm. The mesoderm gives rise to the lining of the coelomic cavity.
Coelom arise from mesoderm, in two ways:

1) Mesoderm typically forms as lateral out-pockets of the embryonic gut. During development these small pockets separate from the gut, forming new fluid filled vesicles completely surrounded by mesoderm and lying within blastocoel.The mesoderm proliferates, expanding these new cavities like water balloons. Eventually these growing vesicles encircle the gut from either side with two fluid-filled cavities.
2) Instead of developing out-pockets of the embryonic gut, the mesoderm forms as solid bundles of cells located on each side of the gut.
Ectoderm (Outer layer) Mesoderm (middle layer) and Endoderm (inner layer), these layers form in the embryo during a process called gastrulation and later give rise to different parts of the body.
