Photomicrograph depicting the histologic structure of the normal rabbit subscapularis bone-tendon junction consisting of four different regions: the tendon proper (T), uncalcified fibrocartilage (UFC), calcified fibrocartilage (CFC) and bone (B) in the control group. The tidemark (arrow), a prominent demarcation, is seen between the uncalcified and calcified fibrocartilage. Fibrochondrocytes, rounded and lying in lacunae within cartilage matrix, are arranged in columns, while the collagen fibers exhibit a parallel orientation.
