Endoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in the very early human embryo. The other two layers are the ectoderm (outside layer) and mesoderm (middle layer), with the endoderm being the innermost layer.[1] Cells migrating inward along the archenteron form the inner layer of the gastrula, which develops into the endoderm.[citation needed]
The endoderm consists at first of flattened cells, which subsequently become columnar. It forms the epithelial lining of multiple systems.[citation needed]
In plant biology, endoderm corresponds to the innermost part of the cortex (bark) in young shoots and young roots often consisting of a single cell layer. More the plant will become older, more endoderm will lignify.
Production
The following chart shows the tissues produced by the endoderm. The embryonic endoderm develops into the interior linings of two tubes in the body, the digestive and respiratory tube.[2]
| Layer | Category | System | |
|---|---|---|---|
| General[3] | Gastrointestinal tract. | the entire alimentary canal except part of the mouth, pharynx and the terminal part of the rectum (which are lined by involutions of the ectoderm), the lining cells of all the glands which open into the digestive tube, including those of the liver and pancreas | |
| General | Respiratory tract | the trachea, bronchi, and alveoli of the lungs | |
| General | Endocrine glands and organs | the lining of the follicles of the thyroid gland and the epithelial component of the thymus (i.e. thymic epithelial cells). | |
| Auditory system | the epithelium of the auditory tube and tympanic cavity | ||
| Urinary system | the urinary bladder and part of the urethra |
Liver and pancreas cells are believed to derive from a common precursor.[4]
In humans,the endoderm can differentiate into distinguishable organs after 5 weeks of embryonic development.
