Paraxial mesoderm is the area of mesoderm that forms just lateral to the neural tube on both sides.

It gives rise to the somitomeres/somites and mesoderm of the branchial arches.


  • eventually differentiates into the axial skeleton, skeletal muscle, part of the dermis
  • almost immediately as it is formed, somitomeres develop.
  • starts with several pairs in the cranial region, and increasingly more proceed to develop towards

the caudal region.

  • The original seven pairs form the straited muscles of head and neck, which develop within the

pharyngeal arches

  • The other somitomeres develop further, to form discrete blocks called somites, starting at

approximately 20 days.
