Gourt Home::Gourt :: Stylohyoid ligament
In connection with the stylohyoideus muscle a ligamentous band, the stylohyoid ligament, may be described.
It is a fibrous cord, which is attached to the tip of the styloid process of the temporal and the lesser cornu of the hyoid bone.
It frequently contains a little cartilage in its center, is often partially ossified, and in many animals forms a distinct bone, the epihyal.
