Smooth muscular tissue

Explanation

Mesenchyme is a type of connective tissue found mostly during the development of the embryo. It is composed mainly of ground substances with few cells or fibers. During development, visceral myogenesis is shortly preceded by mesenchymal cell elongation. Undifferentiated embryonic mesenchymal cells from the intestine, lung, or kidney differentiate into smooth muscle upon elongation.
