  2. Thyroid cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_cartilage

    The entire superior edge of the thyroid cartilage is attached to the hyoid bone by the thyrohyoid membrane. The thyroid cartilage is found between the levels of the C4 to C5 vertebrae. The oblique line is a line on the thyroid cartilage. It marks the upper lateral borders of the thyroid gland.

  3. Hyoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoid_bone

    The hyoid bone (lingual bone or tongue-bone) (/ ˈ h aɪ ɔɪ d / [2] [3]) is a horseshoe-shaped bone situated in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. At rest, it lies between the base of the mandible and the third cervical vertebra .

  4. Thyrohyoid membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrohyoid_membrane

    The thyrohyoid membrane is attached below to the upper border of the thyroid cartilage and to the front of its superior cornu, and above to the upper margin of the posterior surface of the body and greater cornu of the hyoid bone. [1] It passes behind the posterior surface of the body of the hyoid.

  5. Thyrohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrohyoid_muscle

    Above, it attaches onto the greater cornu of the hyoid bone; below, it attaches onto the oblique line of the thyroid cartilage. It is innervated by fibres derived from the cervical spinal nerve 1 that run with the hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) to reach this muscle. The thyrohyoid muscle depresses the hyoid bone and elevates the larynx during ...

  6. Lateral thyrohyoid ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lateral_thyrohyoid_ligament

    The lateral thyrohyoid ligament (lateral hyothyroid ligament) is a round elastic cord, which forms the posterior border of the thyrohyoid membrane and passes between the tip of the superior cornu of the thyroid cartilage and the extremity of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone.

  7. Hyoid suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoid_suspension

    In hyo-thyroid suspension, sutures are looped around the hyoid, and the hyoid bone is advanced using the sutures to the upper edge of the thyroid cartilage where it is sutured and tied to the top of the thyroid cartilage. This procedure is typically performed from a single incision directly over the hyoid bone.

    The thyroid then descends in front of the pharyngeal gut as a bilobed diverticulum through the thyroglossal duct. Over the next few weeks, it migrates to the base of the neck, passing in front of the hyoid bone. During migration, the thyroid remains connected to the tongue by a narrow canal, the thyroglossal duct.
