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.
The hyoid is a small C-shaped bone that lies in the neck just above the thyroid prominence of the thyroid cartilage (the Adams Apple). The hyoid is attached to the epiglottis (the trap door situated atop the airway) via the hyo-epiglottic ligament and the base of the tongue by the hyoglossus muscle.
