Figure 9. Histological sections of limb buds of Podocnemis unifilis at stage 16. A, scale bar: 0.5 mm. The rectangle indicates the area of the carpal section on the right. B, dorsoventral section showing cartilaginous foci of distal carpalia, metacarpalia, and the centrale 4. C, scale bar: 0.5 mm. The rectangles point the areas of the tarsal sections in (D–F). D, the relationships between distal tarsalia 5 and 4 seem to be similar to those of other distal tarsalia. E, the large cartilaginous mass of the intermedium can be seen. F, there are no relationships between the end of the tibia and the cartilaginous condensations of the tarsus. Abbreviations: I–V, digits I–V; c4, centrale 4; d1–d5, distal carpalia/tarsalia 1–5; Fi, fibula; i, intermedium; T, tibia. Scale bars: 0.2 mm in (D–F).
