Descriptor cartílago costal
Scope note: Barras de CARTÍLAGO HIALINO que van desde los extremos anteriores de la costillas superiores hasta alcanzar el ESTERNÓN, bien directamente, bien indirectamente al conectar con el cartílago costal superior que se une al ESTERNÓN. Los cartílagos costales amplían las costillas por su extremo anterior, contribuyendo a que la PARED TORÁCICA disponga de una mayor elasticidad.

Scope note: Bars of HYALINE CARTILAGE extending from the anterior ends of the upper RIBS. They attach to the STERNUM directly or indirectly by connecting to upper costal cartilage that attaches to the STERNUM. Costal cartilages extend the ribs anteriorly and contribute to the enhanced elasticity of the THORACIC WALL.
