Figure 3-5. Differentiation of mesoderm. Somites form most medially. These will give rise to the mus-
cles and bones associated with the vertebral column. Lateral to the somites is the intermediate mesoderm,
which will differentiate into tissues of the urogenital system. Most laterally, the lateral plate mesoderm
will become part of the gastrointestinal wall and body wall.
