Relative to the primitive streak and Henson's node, somite formation in the chick embryo occurs:

#Unit 5. Developmental Biology
  1. Anterior to Henson's node, after the primitive steak has retracted past that point.
  2. Posterior to Henson's node, as cells from the lateral portions of the epiblast move in through the primitive streak to become mesoderm.
  3. Adjacent to Henson's node, as the primitive streak migrates toward the anterior of the embryo.
  4. Somite formation occurs simultaneously along the axis, after Henson's node has fully retracted.
