The proper development of the musculoskeletal system in the tetrapod limb requires the coordinated development of muscle, tendon and cartilage. This paper examines the morphogenesis of muscle and tendon in the developing avian hind limb. Based on a developmental series of embryos labeled with myosin and tenascin antibodies in whole mount, an integrative description of the temporal sequence and ...

Irradiation of prenatal and infant rats resulted in a spectrum of highly reproducible nervous system malformations associated with locomotor abnormalities difficult to correlate with morphologic findings. Fetal rats exposed to 150 R on the 13th, 14th. or 15th day ofgestation were born with a hopping gait, paired hind and forelimbs moving in unison instead of the normal alternating mode. Some an...
