A 3.5-inch worm-like projection found in the base of the colon would be the appendix while a 4.5-inch long, shoe-shaped organ found on the left side of the abdomen would be the spleen.

<h3>Appendix and spleen</h3>

The appendix is a small vestigial organ found at the base of the colon. It is about a 3.5-inch long worm-like projection.

The appendix is often described as vestigial because scientists are yet to ascertain its functions in the body.

The spleen, on the other hand, is a shoe-shaped organ located close to the liver on the left-hand side of the abdomen. It is about 4.5-inches long and its functions include filtering blood,  producing white blood cells and antibodies, etc.

The acoelomate will not have a cavity which is filled with fluid between the digestive tract and the body. Hence there will be a distortion of body wall by the muscular activity of the digestive system.  

Some of the examples of acoelomate  are Cnidaria,Porifera , Platyhelminthes, Placozoa ,Gnathostomulida.Nemertina and Mesozoa. The presence of pseudocoelom in which the body cavity will not be lined by the mesodermal cells are the Pseudocoelomate.
