The Human Tongue: Does It Really Have No Bones?
This is incorrect, the human tongue does have a bone. The hyoid bone is a small, horseshoe-shaped bone located in the midline of the neck, just below the chin. It is the only bone in the human body that is not connected to any other bone. The hyoid bone serves as an attachment point for muscles that move the tongue, pharynx, and larynx.Deafness - Related Articles
