The study of embryological tissues is based on the classification into three fundamental germ layers: the ectoderm, the endoderm, and the mesoderm. This classification is essential in classical embryology and translates into histology by the distinction between epithelial tissues, of ectodermal and endodermal origin, and connective tissues, derived from the mesoderm. Blech-Schmidt's perspective enriches this understanding by identifying boundary tissues (ectoderm and endoderm) and internal tissues (mesoderm), thus highlighting their functional role and interconnection.
Boundary tissues, such as the ectoderm, play a crucial role as protective barriers, while the mesoderm, as an internal tissue, is responsible for nutrition and body structure. The latter gives rise to vital systems, including circulatory, musculoskeletal, and urogenital. The dynamic between these tissues is essential for maintaining homeostasis and health. For example, phenomena of congestion and dehydration within internal tissues can influence the function of boundary tissues, illustrating the importance of balance between these systems for the overall well-being of the organism.
