(also known as '''embryonic connective tissue''') is the mass of
Tissue that develops mainly from the
Mesoderm (the middle layer of the
Trilaminar Germ Disc ) of an
Embryo . Viscous in consistency, mesenchyme contains
Collagen bundles and
Fibroblasts . Mesenchyme later differentiates into
Blood Vessel s, blood-related organs, and connective tissues.
Embryonic connective tissue (mesenchyme):
All organs in the body contain mesenchyme.
Ectomesenchyme has similar properties to mesenchyme. The major difference is that ectomesenchyme arises from
Neural Crest Cells , which are a critical group of cells that form in the
Cranial region during early human development. Thus, ectomesenchyme plays a critical role in the formation of the hard and soft tissues of the head and neck such as bones, muscles and most importantly the
Branchial Arches .
