Introduction
The term used to describe the process of segmentation of the paraxial mesoderm within the trilaminar embryo body to form pairs of somites, or balls of mesoderm. In humans, the first somite pair appears at day 20 and adds caudally at 1 somite pair/90 minutes until on average 44 pairs eventually form.
A somite is added either side of the notochord (axial mesoderm) to form a somite pair. The segmentation does not occur in the head region, and begins cranially (head end) and extends caudally (tailward) adding a somite pair at regular time intervals. The process is sequential and therefore used to stage the age of many different species embryos based upon the number visible somite pairs.

Human Embryo - First Somites
Human embryo first somite pairs (week 4, Carnegie stage 9)
Mesoderm to Somite
Mesoderm means the "middle layer" and it is from this layer that nearly all the bodies connective tissues are derived. In early mesoderm development a number of transient structures will form and then be lost as tissue structure is patterned and organised. Humans are vertebrates, with a "backbone", and the first mesoderm structure we will see form after the notochord will be somites.
- During segmentation the outer cell layer forms an epithelial layer over a still mesenchymal organization of cells at the core.
- The early forming somite has a cavity at its core called a "somitocoel" that later fills with proliferating mesoderm cells.
Somite to Sclerotome and Dermomyotome
Somite initially forms 2 main regional components
- ventromedial region - sclerotome forms vertebral body and intervertebral disc
- dorsolateral region - dermomyotome forms dermis and skeletal muscle
Sclerotome
- The left and right sclerotomes from the same segmental level engulf the notochord.
- Each segmental level is then resegmented in a rostrocaudal direction.
Dermomyotome
- The dermomyotome is divided into a dorsal and ventral half.
- Dorsal - dermatome.
- Ventral - myotome, this will also divide into a dorsal and ventral half that contribute the epaxial and hypaxial skeletal muscle groups respectively.
- hypaxial - muscles of the ventrolateral body wall, girdle, limb and tongue.[6]
- Muscle cells of the limb, tongue and lateral shoulder girdle muscles - derived from somite migrating myogenic precursor cells.
- Muscle cells of the ventrolateral body wall muscles (intercostal and abdominal muscles) and the medial shoulder girdle muscles - derived from the myotome.
Part of the shoulder girdle muscles (trapezius and sternocleidomastoideus) - derived from the lateral plate mesoderm.
