The first important change takes place when about six somites are established; the mesoblast then becomes divided into two lateral bands, shewn in section in fig.
It would seem however that each ganglion develops as an independent differentiation of the mesoblast (unless the optic and cerebral ganglia are from the first continuous)[112].
The hypoblast is formed first on the ventral side at the junction of the mesoblast and the yolk, and gradually extends and forms a complete sack-like mesenteron, enveloping the yolk (fig.
By this stage the epiblast and mesoblast are distinctly differentiated, and the homologue of the hypoblast is to be sought for in the yolk cells.
In the former type the mesoblast and hypoblast are formed either from cells budded off from the outer cells of the blastosphere or from the solid inner mass of cells; while the outer ciliated cells become the epiblast.

Larger vessels and the heart are burrowed, as it were, out of masses of mesoblast cells.
Epiblast is indicated by a line of dashes, mesoblast by dots, and hypoblast, dark or black.
In the frog, the cavity is not at first apparent; the mesoblast at first seems quite solid, but subsequently what is called the splitting of the mesoblast occurs, and the body cavity (b.
From the mesoblast the muscles, the dermis genital and excretory organs, circulatory fluid and apparatus, any skeletal structures; and all connective tissue are derived.
Subsequently, but at a much later date, the mesoblast is completed ventrally by the downgrowth on {402}each side of these mesoblastic plates.
If they be separated out, then it seems to me, the rest of the mesoblastwould consist of the free-living cells of the body, which are not connected with the central nervous system.
In the Appendiculata the heart is formed as a single organ in the mid-dorsal line by the growth of the two lateral plates of mesoblast dorsalwards, the heart being formed where they meet.
The dotted line represents the splanchnopleuric mesoblast in all figures.
What is the morphological criterion by which hypoblast can be distinguished from epiblast, ormesoblast from either?
The stomach opens, in a rather curious way, into the side of the duodenum, d, the anterior end of the latter structure having the appearance of a sort of caecum, to be seen in the next stage of development.
The anterior end of the oesophagus, oe, is in contact with the extreme postero-ventral wall of the pharynx.
It is just cephalad to the anterior end of the pharynx and to the hypophysis.
This difference in the shape of the cells accounts for the slightly greater thickness of the floor over that of the roof of the pharynx.
The mouth has now broken through, putting the wide pharynx into communication with the exterior; probably the mouth opening is formed at about the time of the opening of the first gill cleft.
The section of the pharynx, ph, is here crescentic in outline, and the pharyngeal walls, especially the floor, are somewhat thicker than in the more anterior section just described.
The pharyngeal walls are here thicker, and consist of two or three layers of cells, instead of the single layer of more anterior sections.
At a point about one-third of the length of the embryo from the tip of the head, the enteron opens to the yolk-sac, so that what now may be called the foregut has this considerable extent.
Figure 4L, through the region of the hindgut, shows at i the completely inclosed intestine; it is a comparatively narrow tube, lined with columnar epithelium outside of which is a dense layer of mesoblast continuous with the mesentery.

In the center of the figure the allantois, al, is seen as an irregular cavity, lined with a single layer of columnar or cuboidal cells, and surrounded by a thick mass of loosely arranged, stellate mesoblast cells.

Ventrad and laterad to the glottis a crescentic condensation of mesoblast represents the beginning of the laryngeal cartilages, la.
The attachment to the epiblast is wider behind; but the thickness of the mesoblast is not usually greater in the median line than it is laterally, and for this reason probably the posterior part of the streak fails to shew up in surface views.
At the same time the whole body becomes invested by a tunic of spindle-shaped mesoblast cells.
The mesoblast formed in connection with the primitive streak gives rise in part to the mesoblast of the allantois, and ventral part of the tail of the embryo (?

The mesoblast multiplies its cells, which become partly muscular and partly skeleto-trophic.
When the mesoblast has become thus infinitely subdivided into hundreds of minute spheres, the ectoblast bursts, and the new generations of cells thus set free collect in that part of the egg where the embryonic disk is to arise.
They increase with great rapidity, the inner sac ormesoblast becoming sometimes so crowded with them, that its shape is affected by the protrusion of their angles.
