. Animal biology. Zoology; Biology. 200 METAZOAN PHYLA When the food is digested it is absorbed through the walls of the alimentary canal into the coelom and is thus distributed to all parts of the body. Elimination probably takes place in part through the rectal caeca but also in another and very curious manner. Ameboid cells, known as amehocytes, lying in the coelomic fluid, pick up particles of waste and make their way out through the walls of the dermohranchiae— literally, skin gills—thus getting outside the body with the waste, and not returning. The dermobranchiae (Fig. 110 A) are formed
