                    Figure 6-6 • A, Ultraclose view of the normal right cubital joint in a nestling owl faintly shows the circular cartilaginous epiphyses of the
                    proximal ulna and distal humerus. B, As the epiphyses slowly ossify, they become more apparent, but the illusion of a widened joint
                    persists.
