sclerotome

 [skle´ro-tōm]
1. an instrument used in incision of the sclera.
2. the area of a bone innervated from a single spinal segment.
3. one of the paired masses of mesenchymal tissue, separated from the ventromedial part of a somite, which develop into vertebrae and ribs.

scle·ro·tome

(sklē'rō-tōm),
1. A knife used in sclerotomy.
2. The group of mesenchymal cells emerging from the ventromedial part of a somite and migrating toward the notochord. Sclerotomal cells from adjacent somites become merged in intersomitically located masses that are the primordia of the centra of the vertebrae.

Dorsally, somites differentiate into epithelial dermomyotome, which then develops into myotome (the source of limb muscle), into dermatome (a specific region for nerve reception supplied by sensory neurons), and ventrally into mesenchymal sclerotome. The nuclei of myofibers originate from the myotomal somitic or lateral plate somatic mesoderm depending on the anatomical tissue location [31].
