The one on the right is much larger than that onthe left (Fig. 2), so much so that at this stage the latter is only faintlyshown. This results in a marked asymmetry of the primitive lung wingsthemselves. The mesoderm in the two wings is characterized by the rich-ness of its cellular content, as the portion behind the intestine alreadyshows a differentiation preceding the stages of chondrification of the prim-itive vertebrae. The mesoblastic anlage of the lungs arises from thegeneral mesoderm of the head gut. Just below the pulmonary anlage.
