In a macerated foot the sensitive laminæ of the corium interdigitate with the horny laminæ of the hoof; that is to say, there is no union between the two, for the simple reason that it has been destroyed; they simply interlock like the unglued junction of a finely dovetailed piece of joinery.

In this position, however, the structures interdigitating with the horny laminæ are not sensitive, but are themselves horny.

Its members interdigitate with their next neighbors in manifold directions, and there are no clean cuts between them anywhere.
