Slide 36. Chick embryo mesenchyme.

Staining: hematoxylin and eosin.

Magnification: x400.

Mesenchyme is the most primitive Connective Tissue during Cytology/cytology/16.html">Early stages of embryonic development. It is formed by stellate or spindle-shaped Cells (1) with round or oval nuclei. The cells contact each other via their processes, forming a network (2). The intercellular amorphous substance (3) is transparent, unstained, and fiber-free. Occasionally, clusters of mesenchymal cells can be observed, which subsequently give rise to Blood Vessels.
