Class Crico-arytenoid muscle - UBERON_0010932 #530
Comments
Tagged the class as obsoletion candidate. @tfhyamizu should this also be removed from MA? |
Are they not similar in properties? attaching to arytenoid and cricoid cartilage? |
They are, but they have completely opposite functions and anatomists do not really lump them together. |
Not advocating doing it in this case, but a general issue encountered in data collection is a lack of precision in specifying anatomical structures, which is often why terms like these are created even if they are not proper 'classes' per se. This lack of specificity is quite common in mouse expression literature, where studies are sometimes done by researchers who have more expertise in some areas (other systems, other organisms) than others. Also, the anatomy ontology terms are being used to describe phenotypes, where descriptions are often quite imprecise as well. Is there a way that we might be able to have 'lumping" classes? |
Interesting point, Terry. I actually believe that many problems in comparative biology could be resolved through careful examination of detailed anatomy. However, this particular issue is terminological. I think that if we remove the class, Could we simply remove the super-class cricoarytenoid muscle and refer to it in the text definition, a comment, and as a broad synonym? |
If the class is removed then there is no valid term for gene expression curators to use when faced with lack of specificity. What are the view of other gene expression curators? @ANiknejad? I think the best compromise is to ensure the class is tagged such that (a) people can build ontology views that exclude it if they don't want it (b) gene expression curators are prompted (but not forced) to use a more specific class. |
In this particular case, I would be very surprised if the class cricoarytenoid muscle is used for anything, but I may be wrong. I guess my concern (clearly based on my ignorance) is what happens (and this concern is with the structure of many, many similar classes in Uberon) when the current logical definition in Uberon is merged with the logical definition from FEED? SubClass of 'cricoarytenoid muscle' SubClass of (anonymous ancestor) 'muscle organ' and ('innervated by' some 'vagus nerve') and ('develops from' some 'branchial arch 4') and ('develops from' some 'branchial arch 6') I could load up a slice of Uberon and see, but I don't have it available at this moment. |
Since there are no annotated data, I am perfectly content to remove the term "cricoarytenoid" from the MA, and adding terms for the "posterior" and "lateral" muscles. That said, naming conventions for structures such as muscles, blood vessels and nerves can be quite inconsistent. Similarly named structures can be instances (e.g. left, right), parts of (e.g. ascending, descending), related or even unrelated structures. Furthermore, imprecise use of anatomical descriptors is not just a problem with expression data curation. Anatomical descriptions for phenotypes, disease models and diseases for mouse and for humans often lack great specificity but it nonetheless important to be able to capture the information at the best possible level of granularity. |
Any other opinions here? Is it sufficient to leave the grouping class tagged, or should it be obsoleted? |
If a search or query of 'cricoarytenoid muscle' will hit the lateral and posterior cricoarytenoid muscles, then I vote to obsolete the term. If the group term is required for such functions then I guess that it should be retained. |

We left this hanging, but I was just reminded by this: From the article I would guess that this is the lateral cricoarytenoideus?
In any case, to summarize where we are:
Do we think the current tagging in Uberon into the non_informative and grouping_class subsets is sufficient? Also: I would like to improve on the wikipedia-sourced definitions for the lateral and posterior. |
In a mammal at least (not sure about other vertebrates), the part of "cricoarytenoideus" that abducts the vocal cords is the posterior cricoarytenoid and I think this is being described at the beginning of the paragraph. It is distinguished from the lateral cricoarytenoid not just by its attachments, but also by its action of abduction (it is the only laryngeal muscle that can abduct the vocal folds / cords). This action of abduction is important for maintaining the glottis (and thus the airway) in a maximally opened position. The lower part of the paragraph seems to describe a lateral cricoarytenoideus with an additional attachment to the basihyoid (in addition to the "usual" attachments to the cricoid cartilage and the arytenoid cartilage). Not sure what that means for the grouping.

I request that this class be removed. The posterior cricoarytenoid (UBERON_0008572) and lateral cricoarytenoid (UBERON_0008573) are similar in name only and are not subClasses or part_of a cricoarytenoid muscle.
