Editing Hyoid bone (section)

==== Lesser horns ====
The lesser horns are two small, conical eminences, attached by their bases to the angles of junction between the body and greater horns of the hyoid bone. They are connected to the body of the bone by fibrous tissue, and occasionally to the greater horns by distinct diarthrodial [[joint]]s, which usually persist throughout life, but occasionally become [[ankylosis|ankylosed]]. The lesser horns are situated in the line of the transverse ridge on the body and appear to be continuations of it. The apex of each horn gives attachment to the [[stylohyoid ligament]]; the [[chondroglossus]] rises from the medial side of the base.{{Citation needed|date=January 2014}}
