title: [Evaluation of elemental and mineral composition of larynx thyroid cartilage in the period of its involutional mineralization].
abstract: The research has been conducted on the material of 170 larynx thyroid cartilages of persons in the age range from 19 to 99 years, applying the radiological method, spectroscopy, electyronic scanning microskopy and rentgenological diffractometry. The distribution of certain elements has been determined in fragments of thyroid cartilage with different progression of mineralization. It has been proved that the elemental composition of the examined thyroid cartilages depends on the individual age and the progression of mineralization, resulting from the age.
