The epiblast and hypoblast migrate to form the primitive groove and ridges along the primitive streak. At the cephalic end, a thickening called Henson's node forms. Cells from Henson's node push into the midline to form the notochord beneath the ectoderm. Somites form from the dorsal mesoderm of Henson's node and organize bilaterally. The lateral plate mesoderm splits into somatic and splanchnic mesoderm, forming the coelom cavity between them. By 25-26 hours, somites appear as compact cell masses lateral to the neural folds.
