Spheno-occipital synchondroses were studied histologically in eight human fetuses ranging from 100 mm CRL to term. Cartilage canals were present in all seven specimens over 110 mm CRL. With age the canals grew longer and wider and the larger ones developed some branching. The histologic structure, external morphology and spatial arrangement of these cartilage canals were described. Some attributes of cartilage canals were reviewed from available data in the literature and their significance for the present findings discussed. It was suggested that the canals, containing blood vessels and connective tissue elements, actively invade the cartilage of the synchondrosis. It was suggested further that they probably serve as a source of nutrition or as an extension of the perichondrium (and a source of prospective chondroblasts) or both.
对8例头臀长从100毫米至足月的人类胎儿的蝶枕软骨结合进行了组织学研究。在头臀长超过110毫米的所有7个标本中均存在软骨管。随着年龄增长，这些管道变得更长、更宽，较大的管道还出现了一些分支。描述了这些软骨管的组织结构、外部形态和空间排列。从文献中的现有数据回顾了软骨管的一些特征，并讨论了它们对当前研究结果的意义。有人提出，这些含有血管和结缔组织成分的管道会积极侵入软骨结合的软骨。进一步提出，它们可能作为营养来源或作为软骨膜的延伸（以及未来成软骨细胞的来源），或者两者兼具。
