trunk

appendages

head
“tube within a tube” design
gut tube inside of the embryo
notochord (chordamesoderm)
Signals embryonic cells with development

Neural tube/crest
Tube: becomes CNS— multipolar motor & preganglionic neurons
Crest: Psudounipolar & postganglionic neurons

Somites
each “lump” along the back is a somite— they’re paired tissue blocks (30 pairs)

dermatome
skin

sclerotome
skeletal bone tissue —> becomes bones of the axial skeleton

myotome
Purple: epimere —> epaxial muscles of the back
Red: hypomere —> hypaxial muscles (the rest)

5 bones formed post-migration
1 = vertebral body
2, 3 = vertebral arch
4, 5 = costal element (rib)


epaxial muscles


hypaxial muscles

ventral musculature

Supracostal or outermost muscle

External muscle

middle muscle

Internal muscle

Subvertebral musculature
What muscles does the anterior ramus go to?
hypaxial muscles
What muscles does the posterior ramus go to?
epaxial muscles
where do segmental veins and arteries go?
along the same path as the anterior ramus
—> follows somite migration around
