Hypothyroid Ligament Lateral

The lateral hyoid-thyroid ligament is one of the important anatomical formations of the neck, which connects the hyoid bone to the lateral surface of the thyroid gland. It plays an important role in maintaining stability of the neck and head.

The lateral hyoid-thyroid ligament has the shape of a triangle, the base of which is located on the hyoid bone, and the apex is on the lateral surface of the thyroid gland. The ligament consists of fibrous connective tissue that connects the hyoid bones to the lateral surface of the thyroid gland and provides its support.

This ligament is important for maintaining the correct position of the head and neck. It helps keep the head upright and also provides stability to the neck as the head and body move. In addition, the lateral hyoid-thyroid ligament is involved in the regulation of blood flow and metabolism in the thyroid gland.

With pathology of this ligament, various disorders can occur, such as neck instability, neck pain, impaired blood flow in the thyroid gland, and others. Diagnosis and treatment of such disorders may require consultation with a doctor and additional testing.

Ligament of the hypoglossal apparatus

The hypoglossal apparatus includes at least five ligaments. The ligament, which starts from the lingual arch, is bounded below by the opening of the same name in the temporal bone and the upper wing of the sphenoid bone, and ends on the hyoid bone. This gives us the _inferior, middle and lateral serratus._ Their inner surface consists of a hyaline plate; the outer surface of the posterior and middle is cartilaginous (hyalinated), and the lateral is connective tissue.
