Add terms for Inner & outer cortex of thyroid cartilage
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.

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).
