I have down that the endoderm is responsible for epithelial lining of the digestive system and respiratory tract (including lungs)
I also have down that the mesoderm is responsible for portions of the digestive system and respiratory system.
Am I right or wrong here? And is there something more specific I'm missing? Thanks!

you are right. I would just memorize ectoderm and endoderm, then mesoderm is everything else.

i wonder if we need to know what r those portions of the digestive and repiratory system.
 
I'm wondering parts of the respiratory system you're attributing to the mesoderm if the ectoderm develops into the lungs. I think you might have meant circulatory system = mesoderm?
 
I think this might be an area of overlap. Thats why I posted the question, I was kinda confused. while the ectoderm develops into the lungs, the mesoderm also contributes to the respiratory system, but I don't know what exactly. The circulatory system is definitely the mesoderm, however.
