Anatomy and embryology - 1 Jul 1992
Hall B K, Miyake T
Abstract excerpt
Elements of the vertebrate skeleton are initiated as cell condensations, collectively termed the 'membranous skeleton' whether cartilages or bones by Grüneberg (1963). Condensations, which were identified as the basic cellular units in a recent model of morphological change in development and evolution (Atchley and Hall 1991) are reviewed in this paper. Condensations are initiated either by increased mitotic...
