HEAD-FOLD TO TWELVE SOMITES 123 In the region of the area pelhici(hi the entoderm is very thin; atits boundary it passes rather abruptly into the hirge rounded vesi-cular cells of the yolk-sac entoderm, which becomes continuousat the margin of the vascular area with the germ-wall; thelatter continues to the periphery where it merges in the undifferen-tiated cell-mass (zone of junction) (Figs. 68 A-68 E). The largeneural tube is not yet closed. Beneath the neural tube is a sec-tion of the solid rod-like Fig. 67. — Median longitudinal section of the head of an embryo of lo s. Ectani., Ectamnion. F.

The mesoderm (Fig. 68 A, B, C) lies between the parts alreadynamed; it consists on each side of the middle line of the followingparts: (1) the mesoblastic somite, a block of cells that radiatefrom a central cavity filled with irregularly disposed cells; (2) theintermediate cell-mass or nephrotome, forming a narrow connect-ing bridge between the somite and the lateral plate; (3) thelateral plate, split into two layers, external, known as the somaticlayer, and internal or splanchnic layer. The cavity between thetwo layers is the ccelome or body-cavity; it is very narrow next thenephrotome, but widens as it extends laterally to the marginof the vascular area, and is
