[Correlation between age and general morphology of transverse section of cartilago costalis]
Objective:
To study the correlation between age and general morphology of transverse section of cartilago costalis and its forensic significance.
Methods:
Eighty-six corpses' cartilago costalis from the routine postmortem examination were collected and the morphological features of their transverse section were observed.
Results:
With the increased age, there were regular changes in the color, structure, and material of the general morphology of transverse section of cartilago costalis. But the changes were not affected by gender.
Conclusion:
The good correlation between general morphology of transverse section of cartilago costalis and age can be used to estimate age of the deceased rapidly.

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...

Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
