a) Illustration of two stages of a human embryo by Streeter (1919) [33], which demonstrates the de-differentiation of the caudal spinal cord into the filum terminale (FT) following the re-absorption of the vestigial tail. The numbers below the drawing indicate the length of the embryo. b) Drawings by Kunitomo (1918) [36]of the process of re-absorption of the embryonic tail. The numbers below the illustrations indicate the age in weeks of the fetus, and the numbers above represent the length in millimeters.
