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.
对小鼠的两个主要关节,即肩胛肱关节和鳞状-下颌关节的结构和功能进行了比较。这两个关节在出生后早期所发挥的特定作用体现在它们所观察到的不同细胞组织中。成熟后,当这两个关节面临相似的功能需求时,在它们两者中都检测到了相似的同源结构。讨论了对这些观察结果及其与人类等效关节相关性的一种可能的概念性解释。
