Solution
Coelom: Coelom is the internal body cavity between visceral organs and body wall in which well-developed organs can be accommodated. In some animals pseudocoelom is present (e.g. nematodes) which is a body cavity not lined by mesoderm. True coelom is lined by mesoderm and first appears in annelids. Examples of animals in which true coelom is present are Earthworm, cockroach, snail, all chordates such as birds, humans, etc.
