Somite Development cartoon

The myotome differentiates to form 2 components dorsally the epimere and ventrally the hypomere, which in turn form epaxial and hypaxial muscles respectively.

The bulk of the trunk and limb muscle coming from the hypaxial mesoderm.

Different structures will be contributed depending upon the somite level. Note that neural crest cells migrate beside and through somite.


Note - the cartoons show just the embryo righthand side mesoderm development (the same events occur on the lefthand side).
