title: [Cartilage channels of the human patella up to birth].
abstract: In the human patella from the 4th month up to the birth were examined contents and surrounding structures of vascular channels. Except the articular area the cartilage of the patella is covered by the perichondrium. From here mesenchym and blood vessels enter, and penetrate into the cartilage by forming channels. Dependent on the stages of development the construction of cartilage around the channels is different in comparison with other territories. The findings will be compared with the results from the channels in the cartilaginous anlage of different bones.
