To understand the nomenclature of the hyoid bone.
Hyoid, a small bone of the neck, is a bony part that is rather difficult to unearth and discover among skeletal remains.
The named was coined by the ancient Greeks, along with its anatomic description. Galen (2nd - 3rd c. AD) and Theophilus Protospatharius (7th century AD), facing religious and social barriers, succeeded in presenting its anatomy and suggesting its probable function in speech and swallowing, regarding the bone as a muscle pillar of the neck area.
Authorities of Hellenic antiquity surprise us with their accuracy and the resilience of their anatomical descriptions.
了解舌骨的命名法。
舌骨是颈部的一块小骨头，在骨骼遗骸中很难发现和识别。
这个名字是由古希腊人创造的，同时还有其解剖描述。盖伦（公元 2-3 世纪）和西奥菲勒斯·普罗塔萨菲鲁斯（公元 7 世纪），面对宗教和社会障碍，成功地展示了它的解剖结构，并提出了它在言语和吞咽方面的可能功能，将该骨视为颈部区域的肌肉支柱。
古希腊权威人士以其准确性和解剖描述的弹性令我们惊讶。
