“…This mesoderm is the sole source of skeletal muscles in the head and, together with lateral mesoderm, generates all craniofacial plus some cardiac endothelial precursors (Noden, 1983b(Noden, , 1986(Noden, , 1991aCouly et al, 1992Couly et al, , 1995. Extraocular and branchial muscles initiate their development within paraxial mesoderm, but complete their differentiation and morphogenesis at peripheral locations populated by neural crest cells (Noden, 1983b(Noden, , 1986Couly et al, 1992;Köntges and Lumsden, 1996;Matsuoka et al, 2005;Gage et al, 2005).…”
