Question:medium
While trying to find out the characteristic of a newly found animal, a researcher did the histology of adult animal and observed a cavity with presence of mesodermal tissue towards the body wall but no mesodermal tissue was observed towards the alimentary canal. What could be the possible coelom of that animal?

Show Hint
Pseudocoelomates have a body cavity that is partially lined with mesoderm, unlike coelomates where the entire cavity is surrounded by mesoderm. This structural difference is important in classifying animals.
