• increase in average fibril diameter and range of diameters
• larger fibrils often exhibit an irregular cross-sectional profile
|
|
• at 2 months of age
|
skeleton
|
• in the tail tendon collagen fibrils show a unimodal rather than bimodal frequency distribution resulting from a relative decrease in number of larger fibrils and a relative increase in number of smaller fibrils
• in the tail tendon the fibril size range and average diameter are increased
|
|
• both average collagen fibril diameter and fibril size range are decreased
• collagen fibrils have irregular cross-sectional profiles
