On the formation of the myotomes in avian embryos. An experimental and scanning electron microscope study

Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The formation of the myotomes to chick embryos was studied by using experimental and scanning electron microscope techniques. With the aid of the quail-chick marker system, it was demonstrated that the dermatome gives rise to the myotome plate. SEM studies support the conclusion that the myotome cells originate only from the edges of the dermatome.
