The mesoderm forms nearly all the connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system. Each tissue (cartilage, bone, and muscle) goes through many different mechanisms of differentiation.
These note therefore have many different pages covering each of tissue, as well as information about limb development. Use the left hand menu to go to a specific topic of interest.
