Light and electron microscopic autoradiographical analysis showed that the regenerating cartilaginous tube was mostly derived from the interstitial proliferation of chondroblasts. Appositional growth is limited during the initial stages of cartilage formation. Later, after the differentiation of an inner and outer perichondrium, a few cells were added to the cartilaginous tube while cellular degeneration of the calcifying areas was in progress. In this way a constant diameter of the cartilaginous tube was maintained. In order to study the rate of production of matrix protein (collagen), H3-proline was administered to other samples of Lampropholis. To the best of the author's knowledge this was done for the first time in the cartilage of a reptiles. The tracier was mostly localized in the apical-intermediate cartilage and one hour postinjection it was mostly concentrated in the ergastoplasm around the Golgi apparatus and its secretory vesicles.

We found that there is a significant minority of individuals (18% of the total) who did not present the usual 3-branched aortic arch; interestingly, all 2-branched arches were seen in women and all 4-branched arches were observed in men. The arterial branches could spring either from the ascending segment of the arch (61% of total) or from its horizontal segment (39% of total). Our measurements showed that the springing of the branches was associated with the narrowing of the aortic arch, so that the difference in the diameter of the aortic arch between the origin of the first and last branches could reach up to 11 millimeters. We found that the relative caliber of the arterial branches of the aortic arch depended on the position of its origin at the arch: in aortic arches with branches that were originated at the horizontal segment of the arch the first arterial branch was always the widest of the three, whereas in aortic arches with branches coming out at the ascending segment of the arch the widest arterial branch was the third one.
