GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mesenchyme directly gives rise to most of the body’s connective tissues, from bones and cartilage to the lymphatic and circulatory systems. Furthermore, the interactions between mesenchyme and another tissue type, epithelium, help to form nearly every organ in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The greatest amount of bulk of the body is composed of the cells forming tissues that are considered “soft” tissues or connective tissues. These are embryologically derived from the mesoderm. Hence, they are often called “mesenchymal” tissues.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mesenchyme, or mesenchymal connective tissue, is a type of undifferentiated connective tissue. It is predominantly derived from the embryonic mesoderm, although may be derived from other germ layers, e.g. mesenchyme derived from neural crest cells (ectoderm).

Detailed explanation-4: -Connective tissue is derived from embryonic mesenchyme (unlike most epithelial tissue, which is derived from ectoderm and endoderm). Connective tissue consists of individual cells scattered within an extracellular matrix.
