Joints in the forelimb and hind limb of the axolotl
The elbow joint was comparable to a mammalian synovial joint and lacked fibro-cellular tissue in the synovial cavity (A, B). Although the basic anatomy of the knee joint was similar to mammalian synovial joints, it differed in that the synovial space was filled with fibro-cellular tissues (C, D).
The wrist (E) and ankle (H) joints exhibited a mixed phenotype in that the synovial space between some bones was fibro-cellular, but was acellular at other articulations (arrows in E and H). The interphalangeal joints of the fingers (E) and toes (not illustrated) were fibro-cellular; whereas, the hip (G) and shoulder (not illustrated) joints were acellular.
Boxed areas in (A) and (C) are illustrated at higher magnification in (B) and (C) respectively. The conserved anatomy was confirmed by analysis of the joints in two different animals.
Tissue sections were stained with Fast Green/Safranin O/Weigert’s Iron Hematoxylin.
Scale bars in (A, C, E, G and H) = 500 µm; (B, D and F) = 200 µm.
