Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somites are the brick-like structures that form in paired rows lateral to the notochord, marking the segmentation of the developing embryo. Neural tubes form from the ectoderm and mesoderm, while the mesoderm also gives rise to other structures such as the notochord and somites. Endoderm is the germ layer that gives rise to the lining of the digestive tract and associated organs.
