Vertebral width with age and spinal level. This figure shows the width of the vertebrae of B6 (a) and TSK (b) mice at different ages. The width of the vertebrae increases with spinal level, appears maximal in the lower lumbar levels, and decreases towards the lower lumbar levels in both B6 and TSK mice. There was no apparent increase with age in the B6 mice, however, for the TSK mice, the vertebrae at all levels were noticeably narrower at 4 weeks than at later weeks. No other systematic difference in width with age, or between B6 and TSK mice was detected.
