Published: December 1989

AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study focused on how elastic fibers develop in the vocal cords of humans, examining both fetal and adult stages using light and electron microscopy.
  • - Different types of elastic fibers, including elastic, elaunin, and oxytalan fibers, were identified at various maturation stages.
  • - The maturation of these fibers in human vocal cords varies depending on the area, with different patterns of normal, stifled, or accelerated growth observed.

Article Abstract

The morphogenesis of elastic fibers in human, fetal and adult vocal cords was studied by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The elastic system includes elastic, elaunin and oxytalan fibers at different stages. The development of elastic-system fibers in human vocal cord is characterized by every stage of maturation, whether normal, stifled or accelerated, according to areas.
