The cartilages are placed horizontally above each other, separated by narrow intervals. They measure about 4 mm in depth and 1 mm in thickness. Their outer surfaces are flattened in a vertical direction, but the internal are convex, the cartilages being thicker in the middle than at the margins.
A synthetic analog is a: synthetically created compound that differs from the Natural compound. Both in it's structure and function. Although probably very similar to the original compound.
Sapphire (Al2O3). Synthetic Sapphire is a single crystal form of corundum, Al 2 O 3, also known as alpha-alumina, alumina, and single crystal Al 2 O 3. Sapphire is aluminium oxide in the purest form with no porosity or grain boundaries, making it theoretically dense.apphire (Al2O3).
