Sclerotome

in chordate (including human) embryos, the inferior internal portion of a primary segment, or somite. A sclerotome consists of skeletogenous mesenchyma, which during embryonic development separates from the somite, surrounds the cord and the central nervous system, and forms an axial skeleton; in fish the skeleton of the paired fins is also formed by the mesenchyma.
