The carina is a cartilaginous ridge separating the left and right main bronchi that is formed by the inferior-ward and posterior-ward prolongation of the inferior-most tracheal cartilage. [2] The carina occurs at the lower end of the trachea - usually at the level of the 4th to 5th thoracic vertebra.
The sternal angle is used in the definition of the thoracic plane. [citation needed] The angle also marks the level of a number of features: Boundary between the superior and inferior portion of the mediastinum [citation needed] Passage of the thoracic duct from right to left behind esophagus [citation needed] Tracheal bifurcation.
The PAD emotional state model is a psychological model developed by Albert Mehrabian and James A. Russell (1974 and after) to describe and measure emotional states.PAD uses three numerical dimensions, Pleasure, Arousal and Dominance to represent all emotions.
The cricoid cartilage is the only laryngeal cartilage to form a complete circle around the airway. It is smaller yet thicker and tougher than the thyroid cartilage above. [1] It articulates superiorly [citation needed] with the thyroid cartilage, and the paired arytenoid cartilage. Inferiorly, the trachea attaches onto it. [1]
The carina of the trachea is located at the level of the sternal angle and the fifth thoracic vertebra (at rest). The right main bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left main bronchus, [ 3 ] its mean length is 1.09 cm. [ 4 ] It enters the root of the right lung at approximately the fifth thoracic vertebra.

A spotted gar larva at 22 days stained for cartilage (blue) and bone (red). Chondrogenesis is the biological process through which cartilage tissue is formed and developed. . This intricate and tightly regulated cellular differentiation pathway plays a crucial role in skeletal development, as cartilage serves as a fundamental component of the embryonic skele
The infraglottic cavity is the portion of the larynx situated inferior to the glottis. [1] It is situated between the vocal cords (superior limit), and the inferior border of the cricoid cartilage (inferior limit) [ 2 ] where it is continuous with the trachea .
