Mesenchyme (Mesenchymal Tissue): In embryology, the first true tissue formed from the mesoderm germ layer. It is a type of connective tissue composed of star-shaped mesenchymal cells surrounded by a matrix of fluid ground substance containing fine fibers. Mesenchyme eventually differentiates into all other connective tissues.
