1. Fig. 1. Histological section for assessment of the pharyngeal and laryngeal striated muscles. A 72-year-old man. Cross-sections (elastica Masson staining) of the striated muscles are easily found in tilted horizontal sections including the cricothyroid joint (CT joint). CC, cricoid cartilage; CPM, cricopharyngeal muscle; ICTC, inferior cornu of the thyroid cartilage; PCAM, posterior cricoarytenoid muscle; TYG, thyroid gland. Scale bar=5 mm.
