MeSH definition : Paired, segmented masses of MESENCHYME located on either side of the developing spinal
cord (neural tube). Somites derive from PARAXIAL MESODERM and continue to increase
in number during ORGANOGENESIS. Somites give rise to SKELETON (sclerotome); MUSCLES
(myotome); and DERMIS (dermatome).;
