Add terms for Inner & outer cortex of thyroid cartilage

Open dosumis opened this issue 7 months ago • 3 comments

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.

(This is a rewrite of #3459 & #3460 for AI driven addition. These tickets should be closed once this is implemented)

I've added the requested terms for inner and outer cortex of thyroid cartilage:

  • Added UBERON:7770001 'inner cortex of thyroid cartilage'
  • Added UBERON:7770002 'outer cortex of thyroid cartilage'

PR created at: https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/pull/3536

Both terms are described as requested with the appropriate references and are set as part_of thyroid cartilage (UBERON:0001738).
