Elastic cartilagecontains elastic fibers and is the most flexible type of cartilage. It is found in locations such as the ear and larynx (voice box). Bone Tissue This micrograph shows cancellous (spongy) bone from a vertebra. Cancellous bone is characterized by a honeycomb arrangement, comprising...
The cartilaginous surfaces of the CTJ were categorized according to Maue and Dickson into three different types (type A: well-defined facet; type B: no definable facet; type C: flat cartilage surface or protuberance) and functional correlations examined. Side different statements and intra...
amorphous but firm matrix; collagen fibers form an imperceptible network; chondroblasts produce the matrix and when mature (chondrocytes) lie in lacunae forms the costal cartilage (connecting ribs to sternum) found in embryonic skeleton, the end of long bones, nose, trachea, larynx ...
LarynxMIMICS3DObjective. Type A cricothyroid joint (CTJ) leads to a higher elongation of the vocal folds than Type B/C CTJ. Therefore, the determination for the CTJ type is important whether to perform a cricoid-thyroid approximation for a pitch elevation in transwomen with gender dysphoria. ...
Analysis of 60 male HRCTs and 60 female HRCTs of the larynx/CTJs. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the laryngeal cartilages, based on visualization of the CTJ in HRCT scans. The intercartilaginous distances (nearest distance between the inner side of the Thyroid and outer side of the ...
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped gland present in the front of the neck, just below Adam’s apple (thyroid cartilage). The gland plays several important roles to ensure the normal functioning of the body. The thyroid gland has two major types of cells: follicular and parafollicular ...
