Ossification of human thyroid cartilage. Scanning electron microscopic study.
The architecture of the cartilage already developed within ossified areas have shown apparent differences not only depending on their location within cartilage territory but also due to their chemical composition. The cartilage areas exhibiting a markedly advanced ossification process have shown rather high concentration level of Ca, P and Si.
