In the twenty-sixth somite (Fig. 108) it will be seen that the cells of the core and of the ventral and median wall of the somite extending from the nephrotome to about the center of the neural tube are becoming mesenchymal; they spread out towards the notochord and the space between the latter and the dorsal aorta. These cells constitute the sclerotome. The muscle plate extends from the dorsal edge of the scle

The muscle plate extends from the dorsal edge of the sclerotome to the dorso-median angle of the wall of the somite, and the dermatome from this point to the nephrotome. nSr Mj/. ..ft 'j^- ^^jst'-i=^-!^ l^cp. ^^^.: ~\ ^A.

The sclerotome is entirely mesenchymal, and its cells are extending between the notochord and aorta, and along the sides of the neural tube. The muscle-plate has now bent over so that its inner surface is being applied against the dermatome, but there is still a considerable cavity (myocoele) between the two, at the lateral angle of the dermo-myotomic plate. The lateral edge of the dermatome is freed from the nephrotome, and turns in to a slight extent. Other details are readily understood from the figure. The growth of the free edge of the muscle-plate towards the free lateral edge of the dermatome continues as illustrated in.
