Hyoid Bone Picture

The Hyoid is  a U-shaped bone at the base of the tongue that supports the muscles of the tongue. It is unique in that it is not attached to any other bones in the body; rather, it is supported by a network of muscles and ligaments. The primary role of the hyoid bone is to support the weight of the tongue.
