yay, im 1st. o, I didnt like the teaser
Hmm...not bad. I don't really know my human anatomy all that well but good one.
What do you mean by floating? Floating as in the only one that floats in water?
It's not attached/controlled by any other bones in the human body. It is a single bone, which works entirely by itself using neck muscles for support, while it in turn supports the root of the tongue.
I just love it when I learn something new. Thanks, Princess.
I knew that the hyoid bone is the only floating bone in the body.. but holy cow. How can one figure that out? I didn't give it much time but I think it was beyond me. :/
