Abstract
In histology textbooks, the vertebrate skeleton is represented as almost entirely made of bone and cartilage. This is a false dichotomy and in fact, a continuum of intermediate tissues between bone and cartilage exists. Chondroid bone ([CB] or chondroid tissue), one of the most well-known intermediate tissues, has been reported in mammals, birds and crocodilians. It accommodates (1) rapid growth of the skull and (2) the development of...
