Study Notes
Epithelium
- Epithelium is derived from three embryological germ layers: ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm
- Ectoderm gives rise to the epidermis of the skin and nervous tissue.
- Endoderm lines the intestine
- Mesoderm gives rise to non-specialized connective tissues, cartilage, and blood.
Tissues Differentiation
- Tissues differentiate during embryonic development from the three primitive germ layers
- The epidermis and dermis are distinct, with the epidermis being part of epithelial tissue.
