    Connective Tissue Mechanobiology and Torsion
    The mechanical behavior of connective tissues is intrinsically linked to their ability to maintain informational integrity within the ECM. The tension experienced by tendons and ligaments directly influences neuroendocrine feedback loops. When tissues are mechanically stressed beyond their prescribed limits, the resultant micro-tears cause …

    Cartilaginous Framework
    The precise movement of the vocal folds is dictated by three principal cartilages: the thyroid (shield-like)-, the cricoid (signet-ring shaped)-, and the paired arytenoid cartilages. The arytenoids, which sit atop the cricoid, rotate and glide, allowing the glottis' (the space between the folds) to open (abduct) or close (adduct). Excessive t…
