Somites create the cells that make up the vertebrates and ribs, the dermis of the dorsal skin, the skeletal muscles of the back, as well as the skeletal muscles of the body wall and limbs.
During the embryonic stage of somitogenesis, along the head-to-tail axis in segmented animals, the somites (prehistoric term: primitive segments) are a collection of bilaterally paired blocks of paraxial mesoderm. In vertebrates, somites are further divided into the dermatomes, myotomes, sclerotomes, and syndromes, which give rise to the vertebrae of the vertebral column, the rib cage, a portion of the occipital bone, skeletal muscle, cartilage, tendons, and skin (of the back).
Metamere can also be replaced with somite in some contexts. According to this description, a somite is a homologously paired structure found in an animal body plan, such as that of arthropods and annelids.
In tandem with the ectoderm and endoderm, the mesoderm also develops throughout embryonic development.
