Full Text. The hyoid bone is a horseshoe shaped bone found in the neck. Located anteriorly between the mandible and the thyroid cartilage, the hyoid bone protects the esophagus and also facilitates the wide range of muscle activity required for speaking and swallowing. It is visible upon extension of the neck.
Types of cartilage include hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is the most abundant of the three types. It is found mainly in the bronchial tubes, larynx, nose, and trachea, in the end of long bones, and in the embryonic skeleton. bone is hard tissue that forms the skeletal structure of the body. Cartilage, by comparison, is not as hard and rigid as bone, and is present in areas of the body like the ear, nose, and joints.
