Splanchnopleuric mesenchyme

Splanchnopleuric Mesenchyme is a type of mesenchymal tissue that plays a crucial role in the development of the embryo. It is derived from the Splanchnopleure, which is a layer of tissue that forms during the early stages of embryogenesis.

Formation

The Splanchnopleuric Mesenchyme forms from the splanchnopleure, which itself is formed by the fusion of the endodermal and mesodermal germ layers. The splanchnopleure gives rise to the gut tube and its associated structures, including the respiratory system and digestive system.

Function

The Splanchnopleuric Mesenchyme plays a vital role in the formation of the visceral organs. It provides the structural framework for these organs, allowing them to develop and function properly. It also plays a role in the formation of the blood vessels and lymphatic system.

Clinical Significance

Abnormalities in the development of the Splanchnopleuric Mesenchyme can lead to a variety of congenital disorders. These can include gastrointestinal and respiratory abnormalities, as well as issues with the cardiovascular system.
