endoderm
Primary germ layer that lies remote from the surface of the embryo and gives rise to internal tissues such as gut. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the endoderm is
Primary germ layer that lies remote from the surface of the embryo and gives rise to internal tissues such as gut. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the human body.
Where the endoderm is
This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.
What the endoderm connects to
The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of future mouth and pharyngeal membrane.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the endoderm. 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 entoderm. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the endoderm?
This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.
What does the endoderm connect to?
Part of: future mouth and pharyngeal membrane.
Is the endoderm the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
