Abstract: | Summary A model of a thoracolumbar somite of a chick embryo at the 53rd incubation hour was obtained by mathematical methods, after identification of somite cell types by means of electron microscopy.Each specific district occupied by the cell types was precisely determined.On the basis of these observations, the somite was three-dimensionally reconstructed and the spatial positions of the primitive myotome, dermatome, sclerotome, undifferentiated mesoderm and myocele were precisely identified. |
