  2. Mesenchyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchyme

    Mesenchyme (/ ˈmɛsənkaɪm ˈmiːzən -/ [1]) is a type of loosely organized animal embryonic connective tissue of undifferentiated cells that give rise to most tissues, such as skin, blood or bone. [2][3] The interactions between mesenchyme and epithelium help to form nearly every organ in the developing embryo. [4]

  3. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Flatworms. Parenchyma is the tissue made up of cells and intercellular spaces that fills the interior of the body of a flatworm, which is an acoelomate. This is a spongy tissue also known as a mesenchymal tissue, in which several types of cells are lodged in their extracellular matrices. The parenchymal cells include myocytes, and many types of ...

  4. Mesenchymal stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchymal_stem_cell

    Definition. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a term first named (1991) by Arnold Caplan at Case Western Reserve University, [5] are characterized morphologically by a small cell body with a few cell processes that are long and thin. While the terms mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and marrow stromal cell have been used interchangeably for many years ...

  5. Stromal cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromal_cell

    They are cells that support the function of the parenchymal cells of that organ. The most common stromal cells include fibroblasts and pericytes. The term stromal comes from Latin stromat-, "bed covering", and Ancient Greek στρῶμα, strôma, "bed". Stromal cells are an important part of the body's immune response and modulate inflammation ...

  6. Development of the digestive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_of_the...

    Circulatory system. v. t. e. The development of the digestive system in the human embryo concerns the epithelium of the digestive system and the parenchyma of its derivatives, which originate from the endoderm. Connective tissue, muscular components, and peritoneal components originate in the mesoderm. Different regions of the gut tube such as ...

  7. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls. This tissue system is present between the dermal tissue and forms the main bulk of the plant body. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and usually remain alive after they become ...

  8. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    69072. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] The mesoderm is the middle layer of the three germ layers that develops during gastrulation in the very early development of the embryo of most animals. The outer layer is the ectoderm, and the inner layer is the endoderm. [1][2] The mesoderm forms mesenchyme, mesothelium and coelomocytes.

  9. Human embryonic development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_embryonic_development

    Human embryonic development or human embryogenesis is the development and formation of the human embryo. It is characterised by the processes of cell division and cellular differentiation of the embryo that occurs during the early stages of development. In biological terms, the development of the human body entails growth from a one-celled ...
