Mesoderm lining the coelom forms mesothelium. Separation of Peritoneal and Pleural Cavities: In the adult, peritoneal and pleural cavities are separated by the diaphragm. The diaphragm isformed by a septum transversum, paired pleuroperitoneal folds, and somatic mesoderm.
MYTH: AIDS is not caused by HIV. DEBUNKING: This is the biggie, of course. As long ago as 1983, researchers first isolated HIV from people with AIDS. By 1985, they had developed a test showing that the overwhelming majority of people with AIDS have antibodies to HIV in their blood.
At the time that cases of AIDS began to emerge in the USA, the absence of definitive information about HIV and its link to AIDS, inflated the panic and stigma surrounding the epidemic. Before long people began to talk colloquially of a â4-H Clubâ at risk of AIDS: homosexuals, haemophiliacs, heroin addicts and Haitians, contributing to further stigmatisation.21
