 of 9 mm. (4^ weeks). Bardeen and Lewis. 



FIG. 264. Drawing from a reconstruction of the region of the lower extremity of a human embryo 

 of 9 mm. (4^ weeks). Bardeen and Lewis. 



The visceral organs and the greater part of the left body wall have been removed. The 8th thoracic 

 to the 5th sacral segments are shown. On the right side of the body the costal processes, 

 the spinal nerves (including the lumbo-sacral plexus), and the lower extremity are shown. 

 On the left side the costal processes, the spinal nerves, and the nth and i2th thoracic myo- 

 tomes are represented. Note the dorsal, lateral, and sympathetic branches of the spinal 

 nerves.
