intermediate mesoderm in dogs

The intermediate mesoderm is located between the lateral mesoderm and the paraxial mesoderm. It develops into the kidney and gonads. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the intermediate mesoderm is

The intermediate mesoderm is located between the lateral mesoderm and the paraxial mesoderm. It develops into the kidney and gonads. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the intermediate mesoderm is

It sits in the trunk. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the intermediate mesoderm connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of embryo, mesoderm and trunk mesenchyme.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the intermediate mesoderm. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as IM, intermediate mesenchyme, intermediate plate, intermediate plate mesoderm and mesenchyma intermedium. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the intermediate mesoderm the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
