Origin of

Limb Muscles Dorsal muscle mass

forms extensors and supinators in upper limb, extensors and abductors in lower limb.

Ventral muscle mass forms flexors and pronators in upper limb and flexors and adductors in lower limb.

Morphogenesis guided by CT, not myoblasts

Split into individual muscles, cell death involved
