Description
Add new uberon terms for:
inner cortex of thyroid cartilage
outer cortex of thyroid cartilage
both terms should be part of 'thyroid cartilage'
Use the following criteria and references in the definitions.
Outer region:
Contains denser hyaline cartilage with a higher collagen matrix density, providing structural rigidity26.
Serves as the attachment site for extrinsic muscles (e.g., sternothyroid, thyrohyoid) via the oblique line on the external surface23.
Inner region:
Less mineralized, with a higher proportion of chondrocytes and proteoglycans for flexibility6.
Directly supports the vocal ligaments and thyroarytenoid muscles210.
