Figure 3. Changes of suture width in histological sections.

Figure 3

Hematoxylin and eosin staining of frontal sections of midpalatal sutures of control (A) and expansion (B) animals. In control sections, the suture area was contained within a rectangular frame (A); in expansion sections, the suture area was widened and contained within a trapezoidal frame (compare the control width indicated by a stippled line with the expanded width indicated by a solid line in B). The two images, as well as all subsequent images, are oriented with nasal side up and oral side down. Scale bar (A): 100μm.
