The somites give rise to the axial skeleton, which includes the vertebrae and associated muscles. The primitive streak is involved in the process of gastrulation, the neural tube gives rise to the nervous system, the notochord is an important developmental structure but does not give rise to the axial skeletal muscles, and the pharyngeal arches give rise to structures in the head and neck region.
