[Embryonic and post-embryonic development of the parietal and visceral peritoneum in white mice].
Light and electron microscopy were used in order to investigate histogenesis of the parietal and visceral peritoneum of white mice in embryonic and postembryonic periods of development. Four periods were distinguished, during which gradual differentiation of the primordium material into tissue structures (mesothelium and the connective tissue) of the peritoneum were observed. Asynchronous differentiation of the mesothelium as well as certain correlation in the degree of differentiation of mesothelial and mesenchymal cells took place at all stages of the embryonic and postembryonic development. More differentiated cells of prolonged shape were predominant in the mesenchyma even at early stages (11 days) in those portions where the lining of the secondary cavity of the body resembled mesothelim in its structure.
