The mesoderm also gives rise to the [[Developmental Anatomy of the Kidneys and Urinary Tract - Anatomy & Physiology|urinary system]] and some parts of the reproductive system; these develop from intermediate mesoderm. Lateral plate mesoderm differentiates into the [[Developmental Anatomy of the Heart - Anatomy & Physiology|heart]], the [[Vascular Development - Anatomy & Physiology|vascular system]], the [[Developmental Biology - Limb Development - Anatomy & Physiology|limbs]], and the tissue around alimentary canal, or digestive system.

The formation of bone, or [[Developmental Biology - Bone & Joint Development - Anatomy & Physiology|osteogenesis]] has several different origins - the skull develops at the junction of the neural plate and the epidermis, the limb skeleton develops from lateral plate mesoderm, and the axial skeleton develops from paraxial mesoderm.

Both bones and cartilage continue to develop into several well differentiated types specific to their anatomical position and function.
