  • Title: Diarthroses in the mouse: from different cellular structure to similar joint appearance.
    Author: Livne E.
    Journal: Anat Rec; 1993 Jun; 236(2):351-4. PubMed ID: 8338237.
    Abstract:
    The structure and function of two major joints, the humeroscapular and the squamoso-mandibular joints in mice, are compared. The specific roles that these two joints fulfill during early postnatal period are reflected in a different cellular organization observed in them. Following maturation, when similar functional needs are stressed upon these two joints, similar homologous structures are detected in both of them. A possible conceptual explanation for these observations and their relatedness to the human equivalent joints are discussed.
