rhombomere
http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/UBERON_0001892
A segment of the developing hindbrain[ZFA]. In the vertebrate embryo, a rhombomere is a transiently divided segment of the developing neural tube, within the hindbrain region (a neuromere) in the area that will eventually become the rhombencephalon. The rhombomeres appear as a series of slightly constricted swellings in the neural tube, caudal to the cephalic flexure.[WP].

A segment of the developing hindbrain. Kimmel et al, 1995.[TAO]
Rhombomeric segmentation is found in all living vertebrates and is of fundamental importance to the development of the vertebrate head.[well established][VHOG]
In human embryonic development, the rhombomeres are present by day 29
DHBA divides this into A(1-3),B(4),C(5-7) and D(8)
