Introducing the Bone Clones Equine Hyoid Apparatus, a detailed anatomical specimen that provides an excellent study model for equine head and neck anatomy.
The hyoid apparatus comprises the elongated stylohyoid bones, which articulate with the skull at the styloid processes, and the shorter thyrohyoid bones, which connect to the larynx. Also included is the lingual process, a delicate structure that extends into the base of the tongue. Together, these elements support the tongue and larynx and play a vital role in normal function.
The Equine Hyoid Apparatus is closely associated with the senses of taste, hearing, and balance. Due to its fragile nature, rough manipulation of the tongue can result in fracture or dislocation of the hyoid bones, potentially leading to serious clinical consequences. This model is an invaluable resource for veterinary students, clinicians, and educators, supporting both instructional teaching and detailed anatomical study.
As Bone Clones products are imported to order from the USA, we regret that all models are non-returnable unless faulty. Please speak to our Customer Services team for more information.
