Changes

The '''sclerotome''' surrounds the notochord and breaks it down. Thus far, somite development has been segmented. Cells need to be adjacent to each other to function appropriately, so the sclerotome, in the ventral part of the somite, resegments. A fissure develops in the middle of the sclerotome, dividing each somite into an anterior and posterior portion. The anterior portion of one somite unites with the posterior portion of the adjacent somite, called '''resegmentation'''. But, because only the sclerotome resegments, the [[Muscles - Anatomy & Physiology|muscle]] derived from the myotome remains to unite the original anterior and posterior pairs together. The sclerotome surrounds the neural tube and differentiates firstly to [[Cartilage - Anatomy & Physiology#Structure_and_Function_of_Cartilage|cartilage]] and secondly [[Bones - Anatomy & Physiology#Types_of_Bone|bone]]. It forms the vertebrae.
