Sutural loosening and skeletal flexibility during growth: determination of drop-like shapes in sea urchins.

The shape of sea urchins may be determined mechanically by patterns of force analogous to those that determine the shape of a water droplet. This mechanical analogy implies skeletal flexibility at the time of growth. Although comprised of many rigid calcite plates, sutural collagenous ligaments coul...
