Summary
Angioblast, a term introduced in 1817 by Pander to designate a embryonic layer developing between the serous and mucous layers in a chick embryo and containing blood vessels. This term is no longer used in this sense, though some authors apply it to endothelial bud-like outgrowths that appear during vascular regeneration.
Encyclopedia entry (1928–1936)
ANGIOBLAST (from Greek angeion-vessel and blastos-bud), introduced in 1817 by the founder of the theory of germ layers Pander (Pander), a designation for the layer developing in the embryo of a chick between the serous and mucous (in modern terminology, outer and inner) layers and containing blood vessels. At present, this name in the indicated sense has been abandoned. Some authors, in addition, designate with the term A. the bud-like outgrowths from the endothelium of vessels, appearing as the beginning of the formation of new vascular branches during the regeneration of vessels (see Regeneration).
