Study Notes

Embryonic Mesenchyme and Connective Tissue

Cells originating from embryonic mesenchyme include bone cells, cartilage cells, and fat cells.
The main component of the ECM produced by mesenchymal cells is collagen.
Mesenchymal stem cells are considered undifferentiated cells in connective tissue.
The function of mesenchymal cells in connective tissue is to produce the ECM and provide structural support.

Development of Embryonic Mesenchyme

Embryonic mesenchyme develops from the mesoderm layer of the embryo.

Origin of Connective Tissue

All connective tissue originates from mesenchymal cells.
The origin of all connective tissues is the mesoderm layer of the embryo.
