  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. Epithelial–mesenchymal transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithelial–mesenchymal...

    The epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process by which epithelial cells lose their cell polarity and cell–cell adhesion, and gain migratory and invasive properties to become mesenchymal stem cells; these are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types. EMT is essential for numerous developmental ...

  4. Mesenchymal stem cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesenchymal_stem_cell

    Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) also known as mesenchymal stromal cells or medicinal signaling cells, are multipotent stromal cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts (bone cells), chondrocytes (cartilage cells), myocytes (muscle cells) and adipocytes (fat cells which give rise to marrow adipose tissue).

  5. Connective tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connective_tissue

    Connective tissue is one of the four primary types of animal tissue, along with epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. [1] It develops mostly from the mesenchyme, derived from the mesoderm, the middle embryonic germ layer. [2] Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body, including the nervous system.

  6. Mesoderm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoderm

    Tissues derived from mesoderm. 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. Mesothelium lines coeloms.

  7. Face and neck development of the human embryo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_and_neck_development...

    The face and neck development of the human embryo refers to the development of the structures from the third to eighth week that give rise to the future head and neck.They consist of three layers, the ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm, which form the mesenchyme (derived form the lateral plate mesoderm and paraxial mesoderm), neural crest and neural placodes (from the ectoderm). [1]

  8. 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 ...

  9. Endochondral ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endochondral_ossification

    Endochondral ossification[1][2] is one of the two essential pathways by which bone tissue is produced during fetal development of the mammalian skeletal system, the other pathway being intramembranous ossification. Both endochondral and intramembranous processes initiate from a precursor mesenchymal tissue, but their transformations into bone ...
