==Joint Formation==
==Joint Formation==
*Joints begin to form as the mesenchyme is condensing.
*Joint - forming cells develop different characteristics to cartilage precursors; they are flat and densely packed.
*The region where these joint - forming cells exist is called the "interzone".
*There are three layers in the interzone; a middle layer of low density with regions of high density either side.
**The high density regions form cartilage.
