What does CELOM mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoologytechnical
A variant spelling of coelom, the fluid-filled body cavity found between the body wall and the digestive tract in many animals.
The celom develops from the mesoderm in the embryo and gives rise, in humans, to the pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal cavities that surround the lungs, heart, and abdominal organs. Its presence or absence is an important feature zoologists use to classify animal groups, distinguishing coelomate animals such as vertebrates from those lacking a true body cavity. Celom appears mainly as an alternative American spelling of the more common coelom.
