What is the relationship between germinal layers and the formation of the body cavity in case of coelomate, acoelomates and pseudocoelomates?

•Germinal layers are those which formed during the process of gastrulation period .
•The outer layer of germ is known ectoderm, the middle is endoderm and the innermost is the endoderm layer. •Coelomates are the organisms possessing coeloms.
• Coelom is the body cavity lie by the mesoderm.
•Examples of coelomates are Annelida, Mollusca, arthropods, etc.
• The organisms with absent coelom are called coelomates.
•E.g. Platyhelminthes.
•Some of the organisms do not have a lining by mesoderm. But it will be in the form of a scattered pouch in between ectoderm and endoderm. Such a body cavity is called pseudocolour and animals possessing pseudocoelom are referred to as pseudocoelomates
•e.g., Ascaris.
