 The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles - WikiMD
During the act of deglutition they raise the hyoid bone, and with it the base of the tongue; when the hyoid bone is fixed by its depressors and those of the larynx, they depress the mandible.
The Mentohyoideus muscle passes from the body of hyoid bone to chin.
The Sternohyoideus ( Sternohyoid muscle) is a thin, narrow muscle, which arises from the posterior surface of the medial end of the clavicle, the posterior sternoclavicular ligament, and the upper and posterior part of the manubrium sterni.

The hyoid bone would appear to provide a readily identifiable (radiographic) anatomic landmark, whose position is the result of a multifactorial postural system, which is closely aligned with maintaining respiratory function.
This may be explained by the fact that as the head tilts upwards and forwards (Figure 3), the position of point S within the skull might be affected to a lesser degree, as compared with other points upon the cranial base, and indeed the orientation and position of the cervical vertebrae.
In the first instance, the relationships existing between AHI and the measurements pertaining to the position of the hyoid bone (H) relative to the third cervical vertebra and to the anterior cranial base (S) were analysed to determine the Spearman’s correlation coefficients.

 The Evolution of the Woodpecker's Tongue
The primary connections between the woodpecker's hyoid apparatus and the rest of its body are muscles and ligaments which attach the hyoid to the mandible (jawbone), cartilage of the throat, and base (not top) of the skull - the same configuration found in all other birds.
Once this concept is understood, it is obvious that lengthening the hyoid horns and attached muscles, without making any other changes to overall structure or function, would effectively give the bird a longer tongue and allow it to protrude that tongue farther out of the mouth.
"There is a very curious gradation in the degree of elongation of the horns of the hyoid bone in the different American Woodpeckers, some of which consequently have the power of thrusting out their tongue to a much greater extent than others.

The stylohyoid muscle originates at the styloid process and inserts at the hyoid bone.
The omohyoid muscle originates at the scapula and inserts at the hyoid bone.
Sub-hyoid muscles are categorized as such because they generally lie inferiorly of the hyoid bone.

 Tongue Suspension and Hyoid Suspension
Perhaps the most important part of surgical treatment of OSA is correctly identifying the site(s) of obstruction.
One end of the polypropylane suture is then loaded into a Mayo needle and is passed through the suprahyoid muscles using a full thickness bite of the tissue.
Tongue base suspension and Hyoid suspension / myotomy can serve as an effective adjunct surgical procedure for OSA secondary to base of tongue base level obstruction and hypopharyngeal collapse.

It assists the mylohyoid and geniohyoid muscles in moving the hyoid bone and the tongue upward and forward and then upward and backward during the process of swallowing.
The muscle pulls the hyoid bone down, as in swallowing, and assists in flexion of the head and neck.
It assists the geniohyoid, which lies just beneath the mylohyoid muscle, and the digastric muscles in moving the hyoid bone and the tongue upward and forward and then upward and backward during the process of swallowing.

 eMedicine - Conservation Laryngeal Surgery, Supracricoid Laryngectomy : Article by Stephen Y Lai, MD, PhD
Because no vocal or false cords are present in the postoperative view of the SCPL with CHEP, the normal V-shaped glottis is changed to a T shape in which the arytenoids abut each other and the epiglottis anteriorly.
Transection is performed along the lateral edges of the epiglottis almost to the level of the corniculate cartilages where the false cords come into view.
The reconstruction for this more extensive technique is accomplished by suturing the cricoid to the hyoid, termed a cricohyoidopexy (CHP).

 Tongue base surgery
The decision as to which procedure(s) should be offered to any given patient is determined by careful examination of the patient’s airway, with particular attention to the size, shape, and relationship of the jaws, size and position of the tongue, position of the hyoid, and expectations of the patient.
The genioglossus muscle, the main muscle responsible for sticking the tongue out of the mouth, is suspended from the geniotubercle.

On this basis, although the presence of the hyoid fracture in strangulation is determined by the rigidity of the bone, the specific location is determined by the shape of the greater cornu.
These results indicate that fractures of the hyoid occur at vulnerable angles of curvature of the hyoid bone which, due to anatomic variation in hyoid shape, do not necessarily occur at specific segments of the hyoid bone.

 Hyoid bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hyoid bone ( Os Hyoideum ; "Lingual Bone") is a bone in the human neck, not articulated to any other bone; it is supported by the muscles of the neck and in turn supports the root of the tongue.
The hyoid is ossified from six centers: two for the body, and one for each cornu.
The hyoid bone is shaped like a horseshoe, and is suspended from the tips of the styloid processes of the temporal bones by the stylohyoid ligaments.

When horses are "through" and "on the bit/aids," tension in the muscles connected to the tongue via the base of the hyoid is relieved by soft munching.
As a link in the "circle of aids," it allows fine adjustments to be made in relaxed responses from tongue and jaw.
The hyoid is connected to the styloid process at the bottom of the brain case by ligaments.

 Homo neanderthalensis
The recovery of the hyoid bone was a very important find, as it disproved earlier theories that Neanderthals and other pre-sapiens hominids were incapable of speech due to the lack of a hyoid.
Neanderthals did possess a hyoid, and this scenario of speechlessness based on this bone was discredited.
The individual was between the ages of 25 and 35 when he died, and he can be securely attributed to Neanderthals based on the several features, including the presence of a retromolar space, an the lack of a mental eminence.

 On The Theory of the Vertebrate Skull (1859)
From the anterior edge of the proximal half of this pedicle, the narrow cartilaginous basis of the pterygoid passes forwards and [558] upwards, to become directly continuous with the palatine bone in the frog, but to stop short of that point in the newt.
The visceral arches, in which the mandibular and hyoid cartilages are developed, are at first separated to the very base of the cranium by a deep cleft, the anterior visceral cleft, so that the semi-cartilaginous rudiments of the mandibular and hyoid are completely separate.
On its posterior edge there is a convexity which articulates with the rudimentary operculum, and below this it gives off a short styloid process, to which the cartilaginous cornu of the hyoid is articulated.
