  • A somite (or primitive segment in older texts) is a division of the body of an animal. In vertebrates this is mainly discernible in the embryo stage, in arthropods it is a characteristic of a hypothetical ancestor.
  • (somites) SOH-mites/ Blocks of mesoderm along the sides of a chordate embryo.
  • (somites) Blocks of tissue in the trunk derived from the originally unsegmented paraxial mesoderm.
  • (somites) Mesodermal structures formed during embryonic development that give rise to segmented body parts such as the muscles of the body wall.
  • Block of dorsal mesodermal cells adjacent to the notochord during vertebrate organogenesis. These transient structures define the segmental pattern of the embryo, and subsequently give rise to vertebrae and ribs, dermis of the back, and skeletal muscles of the back, body wall and limbs.
  • Greek soma = body, hence an embryonic body segment.
  • One of the paired blocklike masses of mesoderm, arranged segmentally alongside the neural tube of the embryo, forming the vertebral column and segmental musculature; called also mesoblastic or mesodermal segment.
  • A body segment; especially, in vertebrates, a segment in the early embryo.
