at what level of cervical vertebrae is hyoid bone located? In a pic I see C2 but text say C4? Can someone help me for vertebral levels of important anatomic structures? I guess it is a HY subject

Cervical Landmarks

• Hyoid bone- located anterior to C3

Thyroid cartilage - is inferior to the hyoid in front of C4.

• The cartilage is identifiable by the superior notch.

"Adam's Apple"- is formed by the hyoid and the thyroid cartilage.Occiput- posterior portion of the skull. Inion - dome shaped bump at the base of the occiput, "bump of knowledge."[/left] [left]
