T. p., Tuber- The mesoderm (Fig. 68 A, B, C) lies between the parts already named; it consists on each side of the middle line of the following parts: (1) the mesoblastic somite, a block of cells that radiate from a central cavity filled with irregularly disposed cells; (2) the intermediate cell-mass or nephrotome, forming a narrow connect- ing bridge between the somite and the lateral plate; (3) the lateral plate, split into two layers, external, known as the somatic layer, and internal or splanchnic layer. The cavity between the two layers is the coelome or body-cavity; it is very narrow next the nephrotome, but widens as it extends laterally to the margin of the vascular area, and is divided by various strands of cells, extending from somatic to splanchnic layers, thus indicating its origin by fusion of coelomic vesicles. The ectoderm plus the somatic layer constitute the somato- pleure, from which the body-wall, amnion, and chorion are derived, and the entoderm plus the splanchnic layer form the splanchno-.
