It plays a crucial role in the development of the [[circulatory system]], [[limbs]], and the [[body wall]].<br /> <br /> ==Structure==<br /> The lateral plate mesoderm is divided into two layers:<br /> * The [[somatic mesoderm]] (or parietal mesoderm)<br /> * The [[splanchnic mesoderm]] (or visceral mesoderm)<br /> <br /> These two layers are separated by the [[intraembryonic coelom]], which eventually forms the [[body cavities]] such as the [[pericardial cavity]], [[pleural cavity]], and [[peritoneal cavity]].<br /> <br /> ==Development==<br /> During [[gastrulation]], cells from the [[epiblast]] migrate to form the mesoderm. The lateral plate mesoderm is positioned laterally to the [[paraxial mesoderm]] and [[intermediate mesoderm]]. As development progresses, the lateral plate mesoderm splits into the somatic and splanchnic layers.<br /> <br /> ==Functions==<br /> The lateral plate mesoderm is essential for the formation of several structures:<br /> * The [[somatic mesoderm]] contributes to the formation of the [[limb buds]], [[dermis]] of the skin, and the [[serous membranes]] lining the body cavities.<br /> * The [[splanchnic mesoderm]] gives rise to the [[heart]], [[blood vessels]], and the [[smooth muscle]] and connective tissues of the [[gut]].<br /> <br /> ==Clinical Significance==<br /> Abnormal development of the lateral plate mesoderm can lead to congenital anomalies such as [[limb defects]], [[cardiovascular malformations]], and [[body wall defects]].<br /> <br /> ==Related Pages==<br /> * [[Mesoderm]]<br /> * [[Gastrulation]]<br /> * [[Somatic mesoderm]]<br /> * [[Splanchnic mesoderm]]<br /> * [[Intraembryonic coelom]]<br /> * [[Paraxial mesoderm]]<br /> * [[Intermediate mesoderm]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> ==External Links==<br /> {{Commons category|Lateral plate mesoderm}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Embryology]]<br /> [[Category:Developmental biology]]<br /> [[Category:Mesoderm]]<br /> <br /> {{medicine-stub}}</div>
