Objective:
To seek a method of age determination.
Methods:
This sample consists of 69 female Chinese han individuals whose ages been known. Five positions were selected from their radiograms which have been divided into three or six grade and then set up a mathematical model to deduce age by multiple linear regression analysis.
Results:
The standard deviation of female thyroid cartilage is 1.969 and the multiple correctation coefficient is 0.984.
Conclusion:
The observation proved that age determination by radiographic feature of thyroid cartilage can be used for female Chinese han population from 18 to 60 years old.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...

Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
