Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following is a type of embryonic connective tissue with undifferentiated cells that gives rise to all other connective tissues in the body. Is it answer choice. A areolar connective tissue. Answer choice B, adipose tissue, answer choice C cartilage or answer choice D meeny. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer choices is the embryonic connective tissue that gives rise to all other connective tissues in the body. So of the following types of tissues, we want to know which one is that embryonic connective tissue, which means that it is found in the developing embryo and it contains undifferentiated cells that give rise to all other connective tissues. And when we mean undifferentiated cells, we mean that the cells can differentiate into different types. So this type of tissue contains multipotent stem cells which allows it to differentiate into those different types of cells. So looking at our answer choices, which answer choice best represents a type of connective tissue that is found in the embryo is undifferentiated and contains those multipotent stem cells. Well, of the following answer choices. The only one that we know that is found in the embryo is answer choice D which is meine. Since meeny is a type of connective tissue found in the developing embryo and gives rise to all the other connective tissues in the body due to those multipotent stem cells. So answer choice D is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
