Coelomesoblast

/ˌsiːloʊˈmeɪzoʊblæst/ noun

Definition

An embryonic tissue or germ layer that gives rise to both the coeloma and the mesoderm during development.

Etymology

Kelly Says

The coelomesoblast is an embryological concept showing how the body cavity and muscle tissues literally grow from the same original cell layer—they're siblings!
