Question

Connective tissue arises from which of the embryonic tissue ?

• A. Ectoderm
• B. Endoderm
• C. Mesoderm
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C Mesoderm

The germ layers develop early in embryonic life, through the process of gastrulation. During gastrulation, a hollow cluster of cells called a blastula reorganizes into 3 primary germ layers: an inner layer called endoderm, a middle layer called mesoderm and an outer layer, called ectoderm.
Connective tissue arises from mesoderm.
