Question

What embryonic layer (ectoderm, mesoderm, or endoderm) primarily forms each of the following major tissues? (a) connective tissue, (b) muscle tissue, (c) nervous tissue.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The terminology tissue denotes when a cluster of cells function in a coordination to perform a particular function. There are four types of tissues. The epithelial tissue that can be located in the inner margin of the GI tract, muscle tissue that covers the cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle, nervous tissue covers the brain, spinal cord, and connective tissue which is located in between two bones and tendons.

Step 2

After fertilization of egg and sperm formation of single-cell known as a zygote. The zygote is divided into many cells (embryonic cells) to form an embryo and this type of cell forms germ layers that cover different types of tissue and organs. The outermost germ layer is called the ectoderm, the middle germ layer known as the mesoderm, and the innermost germ layer is known as the endoderm.

  • Connective tissue is primarily formed from the embryonic layer known as the mesoderm
  • Muscle tissue is primarily formed from the embryonic layer known as the mesoderm
  • Nervous tissue is primarily formed from the embryonic layer known as the ectoderm
