Human Body - Joint Less Bone


"The only joint less bone in your body is the hyoid bone in your throat."

The hyoid bone (lingual bone) (Latin os hyoideum) is a horseshoe shaped bone situated in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. At rest, it lies at the level of the base of the mandible in the front and the third cervical vertebra behind.It is the only bone in the human skeleton not articulated to any other bone. It is kept suspended in position by muscles and ligaments. The hyoid bone provides attachment to the muscles of the floor of the mouth and the tongue above, the larynx below, and the epiglottis and pharynx behind.
