2. | endodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the ventral side during embryonic development in some animals. |
3. | mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the dorsal side during embryonic development in some animals. |
4. | mesodermally derived rod-like structure formed on the ventral side during embryonic development in some animals. |
