mesoderm
The mesoderm is one of the three primary germ cell layers in the early stage of an embryo, known as a gastrula. It is the middle layer between the endoderm (inner layer) and the ectoderm (outer layer). This layer eventually develops into various organs and tissues such as the heart, blood vessels, muscles, bones, kidneys, and reproductive organs.
Webster Dictionary

Mesoderm
In all bilaterian animals, the mesoderm is one of the three primary germ layers in the very early embryo. The other two layers are the ectoderm and endoderm, with the mesoderm as the middle layer between them. The mesoderm forms mesenchyme, mesothelium, non-epithelial blood cells and coelomocytes. Mesothelium lines coeloms; forms the muscles in a process known as myogenesis, septa and mesenteries; and forms part of the gonads. The mesoderm differentiates from the rest of the embryo through intercellular signaling, after which the mesoderm is polarized by an organizing center. The position of the organizing center is in turn determined by the regions in which beta-catenin is protected from degradation by GSK-3. Beta-catenin acts as a co-factor that alters the activity of the transcription factor tcf-3 from repressing to activating, which initiates the synthesis of gene products critical for mesoderm differentiation and gastrulation. Furthermore, mesoderm has the capability to induce the growth of other structures, such as the neural plate, the precursor to the nervous system.
