Skull, hyoid apparatus and anterior cervical vertebrae of an adult male Mongolian gazelle. Supposedly, the elevated basihyoideum can turn down caudoventrally and, thus, contributes to the rostrocaudal mobility of the larynx. The thyrohyoid cartilage forms an easily mobile synovial thyrohyoid articulation with the rostral horn of the thyroid cartilage (cf. Fig. 5).
