...C.L. Lohse; D.M. Hyde; D.R. Benson Developmental features of thoracic intervertrebral discs and their association in the adult with other vertebral structures were investigated in four species. The human anulus fibrosus, nucleus pulposus, and intra-articular ligaments were compared to those...

...Horst Michna This study was designed to elucidate the collagen fibril architecture in the murine anulus fibrosus and to reveal the collagen fibril dynamics induced by hormones which are known to influence protein synthesis, the anabolic steroid hormones. These aims were entered...

...C.L. Lohse; D.M. Hyde; D.R. Benson Growth in volume of the anulus fibrosus (AF) and nucleus pulposus (NP) was quantified using serial histological sections of human and kitten fetuses. Fetal intervertebral discs were studied that had clearly outlined AF and NP. Regression equations were calculated...

...Eldridge F. Johnson; Robert W. Caldwell; Hugh E. Berryman; Andrea Miller; Kothapada Chetty A light microscopic investigation of the anulus fibrosus in cervical intervertebral discs of the dog was conducted to ascertain the arrangement and distribution of elastic fibers.
