Fig. 8
Microphotographs of decalcified contents of white patella QU-7 and brown patella QU-8. Decalcified contents of QU-8 after 4 days in EDTA (A-D). Decalcified contents of white patella QU-7 after 11 days in EDTA in (E) and (G). Decalcified content of brown QU-8 after 11 days in EDTA in (F) and (H). Images E and F have the same scale. Images G and H have the same scale. In Qu-7, the ‘broken blood vessel’ (bbv) is clearly eaten away (G); the red arrows in (H) are pointing at osteocytes in QU-8. bv, blood vessel; cc, chondrocyte; oc, osteocyte.
