 CHAETOPODA - LoveToKnow Article on CHAETOPODA
These regions of the coelom end at the nds of the body and communicate with each other by means of a,ranched system of coelomic sinuses, which are in places very fine,ubes.
The condition is interesting as a persistence of the conditions obtaining in the provisional nephridia of e.g.
The ganglia are crowded at the posterior end of the body as in leeches, and there is much tendency to the obliteration of the coelom as in that group.

Because of the significance of the coelom, all triploblastic animals passed the Platyhelminthes, have some form of secondary body cavity.
For these and other reasons, as animals evolved, one of the most successful changes to occur, was the development of an additional body cavity, the coelom.
The `solid' body places pressure on organs during movement and prevents the formation of an efficient circulating system.

 American Zoologist: Are platyhelminthes coelomates without a coelom? An argument based on the evolution of Hox genes
The theory is deeply linked to the concept of enterocoely, which means that the ancestral way in which the coelom forms in the embryo is by outpocketing of the gut wall, as is seen in most deuterostomes, some lophophorates and chaetognaths.
Many recent analysts recognize the fact that rhabditophoran flatworms share many traits with protostome coelomates (spiral cleavage, ciliated larva of the polyclads, tendency to ventral concentration of the nerve cords) and place the rhabditophorans at the base of the protostome branch.
Before challenging this dogma on molecular grounds, it is useful to expose two important historical concepts which have been in competition for explaining the origin of the bilaterians: the planuloid-acoeloid theory and the archecoelomate theory (reviewed in Willmer, 1990).

The coelom is defined as a fluid-filled body cavity that appears within mesoderm in the course of an embryo's development.
Some of the muscle fibres of the body wall are arranged transversely, making up a more distal layer of circular muscle.
Circular and longitudinal muscle, aciculum, dorsal cirrus, dorsal gill blade, notopodium, neuropodium, ventral cirrus, oblique muscles, ventral nerve cord, dorsal vessel, gut, chaetae, coelom.

The mesentery holds body organs within the coelom in place but allows growth and movement.
Their progressive, wavelike locomotion results from alternating contractions of circular and longitudinal muscles against a fluid filled, compartmentalized coelom.
One basic advantage for those organisms with a coelom is greater control over locomotion.

If an organism had such a form of early embryology, then future changes in early developmental patterns might well make it look like either a protostome or a deuterostome, no matter what its actual affinities.
If it weren't for their embryology, we would be clueless as to their relationships with other phyla.
Formation of the coelom isn't much help, with the Chaetognaths because they lack a peritoneum, which technically makes them pseudocoelous.

A solution to both problems is to have some sort of body cavity, called a coelom, in which the body organs lie bathed in body fluid.
A true coelom is lined on all sides by mesoderm which gives rise to muscles that surround the gut as well as underlying the body wall.
Cleavage is indeterminate.This means that the fate of each individual cell is not determined when it is formed and each cell can form one of many cell types.

 Animal - Open Encyclopedia
The mesoderm and coelom do not form in the same way, but rather through evagination of the endoderm called enterocoelic pouching.
The mesoderm arises as in the flatworms, from a single cell, and then divides to form a mass on each side of the body.
Usually there is a hollow space around the gut, called the coelom, arising from a split within the mesoderm, or at least some reduced version thereof (eg a pseudocoelom, where the split occurs between the mesoderm and endoderm, common in microscopic forms).

A number of parasites are included in this group, such as the flukes and tapeworms.
