  2. 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.

  3. Thyroid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid

    In fish, it is usually located below the gills and is not always divided into distinct lobes. However, in some teleosts, patches of thyroid tissue are found elsewhere in the body, associated with the kidneys, spleen, heart, or eyes. [104] In tetrapods, the thyroid is always found somewhere in the neck region. In most tetrapod species, there are ...

  4. 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.

  5. Hyoid bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoid_bone

    The body of the hyoid bone is the central part of the hyoid bone. [clarification needed]At the front, the body is convex and directed forward and upward. It is crossed in its upper half by a well-marked transverse ridge with a slight downward convexity, and in many cases a vertical median ridge divides it into two lateral halves.

  6. Thyroid follicular cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_follicular_cell

    The basolateral membrane of follicular cells contains thyrotropin receptors which bind to thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) found circulating in the blood. Calcitonin -producing parafollicular cells are also found along the basement membrane of the thyroid follicle, interspersed between follicular cells; and in spaces between the spherical ...

  7. Pyriform sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyriform_sinus

    The pyriform sinus (also piriform recess, piriform sinus, piriform fossa, or smuggler's fossa) is a small recess on either side of the laryngeal inlet. It is bounded medially by the aryepiglottic fold, and laterally by the thyroid cartilage and thyrohyoid membrane. [1]

  8. Median thyrohyoid ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_thyrohyoid_ligament

    The median thyrohyoid ligament (also middle hyothyroid ligament or middle thyrohyoid ligament) is the thicker, middle part of the thyrohyoid membrane. Its lateral thinner portions are pierced by the superior laryngeal vessels and the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve .

  9. Thyrohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrohyoid_muscle

    The thyrohyoid muscle is innervated (along with the geniohyoid muscle [1] [3]: 457, 709 ) by a branch of the cervical plexus [4] [3]: 538 - the nerve to thyrohyoid muscle (thyrohyoid branch of ansa cervicalis) [4] - which is formed by fibres of the cervical spinal nerve 1 (C1) [1] [2] [3]: 538 (and - according to some sources - cervical spinal nerve 2 as well [4] [3]: 457 ) that join and ...
