The myotomes of the anterior praeoral segmentgive rise to the muscles of the eye supplied by the thirdcranial nerve, those of the posterior one furnish the supe-rior oblique muscles innervated by the fourth nerve, while 228 THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HUMAN BODY. from the postoral myotomes the external recti, suppliedby the sixth nerve, are developed. The muscles suppliedby the hypoglossal nerve are also derived from myotomes,but they have already be
