4. ANATOMY, CELL BIOLOGY, PATHOLOGY, AND ANIMAL MODELS

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this Panel was to identify important progress that has been made in the areas of cell biology, anatomy, pathology, and animal models in the past 4 years since the Sixth International Symposium on Rec ent Advances in Otitis Media, which was held in June of 1995.

GROSS ANATOMY AND TEMPORAL BONE HISTOLOGY AND HISTOPATHOLOGY

Sudo et al1 studied normal temporal bones from persons 16 to 88 years old by computer-aided 3-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction and measurement. These results suggested that contraction of the ...
