ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mesenchyme is the meshwork of embryonic connective tissue from which all other connective tissues of the body are formed, including cartilage and ultimately bone (see Chapter 4).

Detailed explanation-2: -Connective Tissue Formation. During embryonic development, undifferentiated mesenchymal cells, derived from mesodermal and mesectodermal (neural crest cells) origins, give rise to the different forms of CT: bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and irregular CT (Wachtler et al., 1981).

Detailed explanation-3: -All connective tissues arise from a common embryonic tissue called mesenchyme.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mesenchyme (/ˈmɛsənkaɪm ˈmiːzən-/) 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. The interactions between mesenchyme and epithelium help to form nearly every organ in the developing embryo.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mesenchyme is an embryonic precursor tissue that generates a range of structures in vertebrates including cartilage, bone, muscle, kidney and the erythropoietic system. Mesenchyme originates from both mesoderm and the neural crest, an ectodermal cell population, via an epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT).
