*Regionalisation of these tissues occurs through co-ordinated endoderm and splanchnic mesoderm develop.
*Regionalisation of these tissues occurs through co-ordinated endoderm and splanchnic mesoderm develop.
*The endoderm governs splanchnic mesoderm development by releasing a signalling factor (sonic hedgehog) which induces differential mesoderm development.
