“…Retarded development of the epiphy seal cartilage, manifested itself even in aged dwarfs in the presence of re sidual epiphyseal cartilage in the vertebral metaphyses or diaphyses -a finding similar to that observed in the long bones [13]. With respect to their location, these cartilaginous inclusions resemble the well-known 'Schmorl nodules' of human pathology; however, the latter lesions are at tributed to rupture of the cartilaginous end-plates and subsequent hernia tion of the chondrified nucleus pulposus into the vertebral body rather than to a developmental defect.…”

“…While many authors confirm the parallel alignment of fibres in the superficial zone of AC (Cameron and Robinson, 1958;McCall, 1962;Anderson, 1964;Silberberg et al, 1966;Clarke, 1971;Teshima et al, 1995), the situation in the intermediate and deep zones is more controversial. The arching of collagen fibres in the intermediate zone is described in a few papers subsequent to Benninghoffs (Clarke, 1971;Clark and Simonian, 1997) as well as suggestions that a more isotropic arrangement is present (Little et al, 1958;Hunziker, 1992).…”

“…Mouse AC has not been studied extensively with high-resolution imaging methods except with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), (Silberberg et al, 1961;1966). Mouse AC appears to be an ideal subject for electron microscopic investigations due to the small size of the tissue, enabling the AC to be fixed whole while preserving its structural integrity as much as possible.…”

“…The mature flattened chondrocytes resemble the chon-drocytes described a t the light microscopical level in the flattened cell zone in epiphyseal cartilages of fish (Haines, 1934(Haines, , 1938(Haines, , 1942Meunier, 1979) and of warm-blooded vertebrates (e.g., Howlett, 1979). The chondrocytes in Meckel's cartilage of H. bimaculatus however, seem to lack one feature which is often held to be characteristic for such cells, namely deposits of glycogen (e.g., Godman and Porter, 1960;Silberberg et al, 1964Silberberg et al, , 1966Silberberg et al, , 1976Silva and Hart, 1967;Holtrop, 1972;Silbermann and Frommer, 1974;Silbermann and Lewinson, 1978). The presence of glycogen in chondrocytes is indicative of the state of maturation of the cells and related to the synthesis of matrix polysaccharides (Knese, 1979).…”
