| Sci-Tech Encyclopedia: Histogenesis |
The developmental processes by which the definite cells and tissues which make up the body of an organism arise from embryonic cells. Among animals, the ectoderm, endoderm, and mesoderm, also known as the primary germ layers, provide the stem cells which gradually transform into distinctive kinds of cells and tissues. In the higher plants, meristematic cells, which occur wherever extensive growth takes place, provide the basis for tissue formation. See also Apical meristem; Embryology; Germ layers; Histology; Lateral meristem.
