It is attached to the temporal region of the skull by a [[Joints - Anatomy & Physiology#Cartilaginous Joints|synchondrosis joint]]. It is palpable through the [[Pharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|pharynx]] and is visible when the [[Pharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|pharynx]] is viewed through the mouth. The basihyoid is palpable within the intermandibular space.
