[Histology of the cartilage of the human fetal condyle].
The Authors have examined with optical microscopy the articular cartilages from the supero-posterior area of the mandibular condyles of ten TMJ of 5 human fetuses. In this study have been shown the cellular components of the 3 outer areas of the condyle. Further it has been pointed out that the fibrous lining of the cartilage is not only composed of collagen fibrils, proteoglycans and fibroblasts but also contains elastic fibers.
