Mesoderm vs. Mesenchyme

Mesodermnoun

(embryology) One of the three tissue layers in the embryo of a metazoan animal. Through embryonic development, it will produce many internal organs of the adult, e.g. muscles, spine and circulatory system.

Mesodermnoun

The layer of the blastoderm, between the ectoderm and endoderm; mesoblast. See Illust. of Blastoderm and Ectoderm.

Mesodermnoun

the middle germ layer that develops into muscle and bone and cartilage and blood and connective tissue

Mesoderm

In all bilaterian animals, the mesoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in the very early embryo. The other two layers are the ectoderm (outside layer) and endoderm (inside layer), with the mesoderm as the middle layer between them.The mesoderm forms mesenchyme, mesothelium, non-epithelial blood cells and coelomocytes.

Mesenchymenoun

(anatomy) That part of the mesoderm of an embryo that develops into connective tissue, bone, cartilage, etc.

Mesenchymenoun

mesodermal tissue that forms connective tissue and blood and smooth muscles

Mesenchyme

Mesenchyme () is a type of loosely organised animal embryonic connective tissue of undifferentiated cells that gives rise to blood and lymph vessels, bone, and muscle.
