Question

Type of body cavity (coelom) in earthworm is

• A. Acoelomic
• B. Schizocoel
• C. Haemocoel
• D. Enterocoelic

Answer 1

The correct option is B Schizocoel

Earthworm consists of a schizocoel type of body coelom in which the cavity is formed by splitting of embryonic mesoderm.

Acoelomic animals have no body cavity at all and the organs are in direct contact with the epithelium.

Haemocoel is a body cavity that normally contains blood and functions as part of the circulatory system.

Enterocoel is the cavity that develops from the pockets of the endodermis. It is found in entercoelomates.

So, the correct answer is option B.
