Which of the following tissue types does NOT develop from the mesoderm? A) Most muscle tissue B) Epithelial tissue C) Cartilage D) Connective tissue
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to identify which tissue type does not originate from the mesoderm layer during embryonic development. It presents four options related to different types of tissues, and requires knowledge of embryology to determine which tissue is derived from a different germ layer (ectoderm or endoderm).
Answer
Epithelial tissue does not develop from the mesoderm.
The final answer is B) Epithelial tissue.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) Epithelial tissue.
More Information
Epithelial tissue primarily develops from the ectoderm and endoderm during embryonic development, unlike muscle, connective tissue, and cartilage, which develop from the mesoderm.
Tips
One common mistake is to confuse the origin of epithelial tissue with connective tissue, as their functions can overlap in protection and support.
