Article Example
Asota ficus Larva has black head. Somites are dark velvety brown with slight white hairs arising from red papilla. Yellow patches can be found on fourth to eleventh somites.
Autoba abrupta Larva reddish with black streaks, lateral dots and yellow transverse stripes. Paired oblique white stripes run across 9th and 10th somites. Somites 5,6,7 and 11 with dorsal prominences and somites 3,4 and 5 each with four spatulate dorsal filaments. Pupa in a small cocoon attached to a leaf.
Somitogenesis Somitogenesis is the process by which somites form. Somites are bilaterally paired blocks of mesoderm that form along the anterior-posterior axis of the developing embryo in segmented animals. In vertebrates, somites give rise to skeletal muscle, cartilage, tendons, endothelial cells, and dermis.
Somite For some species, the number of somites may be used to determine the stage of embryonic development more reliably than the number of hours post-fertilization because rate of development can be affected by temperature or other environmental factors. The somites appear on both sides of the neural tube simultaneously. Experimental manipulation of the developing somites will not alter the rostral/caudal orientation of the somites, as the cell fates have been determined prior to somitogenesis. Somite formation can be induced by "Noggin"-secreting cells. The number of somites is species dependent and independent of embryo size (for example, if modified via surgery or genetic engineering). Chicken embryos have 50 somites; mice have 65, while snakes have 500.
Somite In some older texts, somites are referred to as "primitive segments."
