Abstract
The patterns of orientation of individual sclerotomal cells have been evaluated in the perichordal region of the chick embryo at stages 20, 23 and 26. Orientation was measured by determining the angular relationship between the Golgi-nucleus axis of each cell relative to the notochordal axis. These analyses showed that the mesenchyme cells are oriented predominantly toward the notochordal axis.
