Coelom is lined by which of the following?

Correct answer: D. Both a and b

  • A. Parietal mesoderm
  • B. Visceral mesoderm
  • C. Mesoderm
  • D. Both a and b

Explanation

Coelom is a fluid-filled cavity lined by a mesodermal epithelium called mesothelium. It is surrounded by two layers of mesoderm: the parietal mesoderm that lines the body wall and the visceral mesoderm that covers the organs. The mesothelial cells secrete a serous fluid that fills the coelom and allows the organs to move freely.
