Ans: The specialty of the hyoid bone is that it does not articulate with any other bone but has muscular attachments. It gives attachment to the mouth’s muscles and the tongue above, the larynx, and the epiglottis and pharynx at the back.  Given these qualities, it contributes to actions as chewing and swallowing. The hyoid bone location is below the mandible and higher to the thyroid cartilage at the midline’s third cervical vertebra level. The density of the hyoid bone in females is lower than in males. The hyoid has many unique anatomical features and holds importance in clinical relevance. Therefore, it holds significance for both anatomists and clinicians. This fine bone is the foundation of speech and is found only in humans. It is possible to move it also by lightly touching either end and then alternating an ever so slight pushing action. This action is called palpating the hyoid bone.
