component of a somite; the early musculature of the back.
Segment of the body formed by a region of muscle. The myotomes are an important feature for recognizing early chordates.
a muscle plate; a section of the repeated muscle units corresponding to the flakes of a cooked fish
a group of muscles innervated from a single spinal nerve root, i
a group of muscles receiving innervation from one nerve root
All the muscles innervated by motor neurons of a single ventral root.
A muscle block that is repeated in each metameric segment.
The collection of muscle fibers innervated by the motor axons within each segmental nerve (root).
The somites split, roughly axially, into three segments, the middle one of which is the myotome. This mesoderm is fated to become body musculature.
In vertebrate embryonic development, a myotome is a group of tissues formed from somites that develop into the body wall muscle.
