The intermediate mesoderm or intermediate mesenchyme is a narrow section of the mesoderm (the middle germ layer) located between the paraxial mesoderm and the lateral plate mesoderm of the developing embryo. The intermediate mesoderm develops into vital parts of the urogenital system (kidneys, gonads and respective tracts).
