	Notochord - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is composed of cells derived from the mesoderm and defining the primitive axis of the embryo.
		The notochord is found on the ventral surface of the neural tube.
		From the mesoderm surrounding the neural tube and notochord, the skull, vertebral column, and the membranes of the brain and medulla spinalis are developed.

		In many fishes and in early fossil amphibians and reptiles the notochord persists in the adult and is enclosed by the vertebrae; in higher vertebrates, however, it disappears during embryonic development.
		A few cartilaginous blocks around the notochord constitute the bare rudiments of a backbone; a cartilage framework supports the gill region, and there is a rudimentary cartilage braincase.

	DEVELOPMENTAL BIOLOGY: ON THE NOTOCHORD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		In its "mature" state, the notochord is a rod of large cells constrained by a thick extracellular sheath and positioned between the developing spinal cord and gut.
		Turgor pressure generated by notochord cells exerted against the sheath gives the notochord stiffness, imparting the mechanical properties required for one of its main functions as the central axial skeletal element of the developing embryo.
		For the notochord enthusiast, the most astounding thing about this is that the majority of tissue derived from the graft is notochord, while the induced second axis is derived mostly from the host.

		The notochord of the 20-somite embryo, Carnegie No. 2053 is separated from the digestive epithelium in many areas, particularly caudally where the dorsal aorta have fused medially between the two tissues.
		The notochordal plate and then the cord are intimately related to the neural tube until late in the stage when the primordial meninges form and separate the tissues at the cranial flexure and the area of RhD.
		The notochord is no longer in contact with the endoderm except in the pharyngeal region and the caudal end of the embryo.
