 | | Under the physiologically normal ageing process, intracellular ultrastructure remained relatively intact throughout the study period. |
 | | Although vacuolisation of rough endoplasmic reticula, accumulation of fibrils, nuclear pyknosis, and formation of fat droplets have been associated with normal ageing; they were more often seen in osteoarthritic joints. |
 | | The diameters of matrix collagen fibres were slightly greater, but the fibre structure was maintained, and perpendicular arrangement and tidemark stratification were hardly seen in the deep layer. |
