The larynx, also known as the voice box, plays a critical role in speech and breathing. The laryngeal muscles are responsible for controlling the movement and position of the vocal cords, which are essential for voice production. While the laryngeal muscles are well-studied in humans, less is known about their anatomy and function in non-human primates. This study aims to compare the laryngeal muscles in humans and non-human primates to better understand their evolutionary development and potential functional differences.

The human gastrointestinal tract is a long, muscular tube that extends from the mouth to the anus, and is responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients from food. The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract, also known as the digestive system, is a complex series of organs that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients. It consists of several organs, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, and anus.

CT (computed tomography) scans of the human female pelvis are a valuable tool for studying the structure and function of the female pelvic region. The pelvis is a complex structure that consists of several bones, including the sacrum, coccyx, and two hip bones (also called the innominate bones). In females, the pelvis is shaped differently than in males to accommodate the passage of the baby during childbirth. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the human female pelvis using CT scans is a valuable tool for understanding the anatomy and morphology of the pelvis. CT scans are a type of medical imaging that can produce detailed 3D images of the human body, allowing researchers and clinicians to examine the structure and function of various organs and tissues.

Anthropoid primates have evolved unique adaptations in their muscles of mastication in response to their diverse feeding habits. For example, some primates, such as colobus monkeys, have elongated and slender temporalis muscles, which are likely adaptations to their specialized diet of leaves and other tough plant material. Other primates, such as baboons and gorillas, have larger and more robust muscles of mastication, which are likely adaptations to their diet of harder and tougher plant material.

The human brain undergoes a range of changes during the aging process, both morphologically and functionally. These changes can impact cognitive function, including memory, attention, processing speed, and decision-making. The human brain undergoes a range of morphological and functional changes as a natural part of the aging process. Some of these changes can have significant impacts on cognitive function and overall brain health.
