ABSTRACTSpinal ligaments were obtained from normal and scoliotic individuals. Detailed morphological studies were carried out on the yellow, interspinous and supraspinous ligaments by light and scanning electron microscopy. Normal yellow ligaments are mostly constituted of dense elastin fibers with only a few collagen fibers and sparse blood vessels, while in normal interspinous and supraspinous ligaments, the presence of collagen is highly dominant. In the latter structures, the collagen fascicles are characterized by a regular waviness morphology. The fibrils constituting the fascicles appear either parallel or helical with respect to the fascicle axis. Structural changes are observed in the spinal ligaments of patients with congenital as well as idiopathic scoliosis. For yellow ligaments, only slight differences are found between normal and scoliotic specimens. However, alterations in collagen waviness and architecture are observed mainly in the supraspinous ligaments and to a lesser extent in the interspinous ligaments. In addition, increases in the cellularity, loose connective tissue and vessels are found in both forgoing ligaments. These results indicate that the more pronounced scoliosis-related changes occur in ligaments having the farthest distance from the axis of flexion-rotation.

The heads of nine 2.5 to 3-year-old Nile crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) were obtained from a commercial farm where crocodiles are raised for their skins and meat. The animals from which these specimens originated were clinically healthy at the time they were slaughtered. A detailed description of the macroscopic and microscopic features of the palate and gingivae of the Nile crocodile is presented and the results are compared with published information on this species and other Crocodylia. The histological features are supplemented by information supplied by scanning electron microscopy. Macroscopic features of interest are the small conical process situated at the base of the first two incisors of the maxilla, the distribution of cobbled units on the palate, and the broad dentary shelf forming the rostral aspect of the mandible. Histologically the palate and gingivae did not differ significantly from each other and both regions showed a presence of Pacinian-type corpuscles. Two types of sensory structures (taste receptors and pressure receptors) were identified in the regions examined, both involving modification of the epithelium and the underlying connective tissue.
