Editing Hyoid bone (section)

==== Greater horns ====
The greater horns project backward from the outer borders of the body; they are flattened from above downward and taper to their end, which is a bony [[Tubercle (anatomy)|tubercle]] connecting to the [[lateral thyrohyoid ligament]]. The upper surface of the greater horns are rough and close to its lateral border, and facilitates muscular attachment. The largest of muscles that attach to the upper surface of the greater horns are the [[hyoglossus]] and the [[middle pharyngeal constrictor]], which extend along the whole length of the horns; the [[digastric muscle]] and [[stylohyoid muscle]] have small insertions in front of these near the junction of the body with the horns. To the medial border, the [[thyrohyoid membrane]] is attached, while the anterior half of the lateral border gives insertion to the [[thyrohyoid muscle]].{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}}
