The somite consists initially of two regions, the sclerotome and dermomyotome, later becoming the myotome and dermatome. The somite ball is shown to disperse forming the vertebral column (sclerotome, vertebra and intervertebral disc), the body skeletal muscle (myotome, epaxial and hypaxial muscles) and the dermis (dermatome) layer of the skin. Not shown is that myotome from somites at the level of the upper and lower limbs also contribute the limb muscles.
