#*During embryogenesis two cell types exist; mesenchymal and epithelial. Mesenchymal cells are single or loosely linked to other cells and irregularly shaped. Epithelial cells are tightly attached to each other or a membrane and have a regular shape (cuboidal or columnar). | #*During embryogenesis two cell types exist; mesenchymal and epithelial.
