Document Summary

Baker | fors 3331 | spring 2017 | lecture 11 | page 1. Believed to be a misplaced head bone: used to have a darth vader head, somehow we grew a neck in between the top and bottom of our head and this is the bone left behind. Located in the neck, above the thyroid cartilage (i. e. adam"s apple are) It"s the only bone that does not articulate with any other. Major point of attachment of muscles and cartilaginous structures of the neck. Forms via endochondral ossification from gill arches 2 and 3. Body - curved midline bone fused to the greater horns laterally. Greater horns - long, thin processes forming the posterior sides of the hyoid: extends posteriorly. Lesser horns - small eminences on the superior side of the bone: project from the area where the body and greater horns meet, humans have short lesser horns which has to do with our upright anatomy.
