The cells that make up the limb bud are derived from the 

1. posterior lateral plate mesoderm

2. adjacent somites

3. bud’s overlying ectoderm

The positional information needed to construct a limb has to function in a three-dimensional coordinate system:

Proximal-distal axis

Anterior-posterior axis

Dorsal-ventral axis

The limb bud is regionalized into 3 functional domains

1. Progress zone

2. Zone of polarizing activity

3. Apical ectodermal ridge

The highly proliferative mesenchyme that fuels limb bud growth is known as the progress zone mesenchyme
