 the representatives of the permanent vertebrae, but are differentiated, partly into 

 the vertebrae and partly into the muscles and true skin. On either side of the 

 protovertebrse the lateral mesoblast splits into two layers; the upper becomes

 lower becomes attached to the hypoblast and with it forms the splanchnopleure or 

 wall of the alimentary tube (Fig. 699). The space between them is the ccelum or
