Where within the body is this hyoid bone located?

Where within the body is this hyoid bone located?
It is in the d¨|colletage!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/hyoid_bone...
How ironic, I saw the question while studying for my anatomy oral exam... hope that link helps--pix and explanations!
a U-shaped bone to be exact situated between the base of the tongue and voice box and that supports the tongue, the voice box, and their muscles
In the collar
hyoid bone (Lingual Bone) is a bone in the human d¨|colletage
It is supported by the muscles of the neck and within turn supports the root of the tongue.
the neck surrounded by the area lower than the tongue
At the front of your neck, if you put your appendage at the front like you are stangling yourself you foot is over it
The others are absolutely right, but did you know it's the single bone in the body that doesn't articulate beside another bone?
