Most skeletal tissues arise from mesenchymal cells, which are multipotent cells that can differentiate into various cell types including cartilage, bone, and muscle. The neurocranium and notochord do play important roles in skeletal development, but they do not give rise to most skeletal tissues. The endoderm primarily gives rise to the epithelial lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urogenital systems.
