the entire superior edge of the thyroid cartilage is attached to the hyoid bone by the thyrohyoid membrane. the thyroid cartilage is found between the levels of the c4 to c5 vertebrae.









































the "oblique line" is a line on the thyroid cartilage. it marks the upper lateral borders of the thyroid gland. two muscles originate along the line, the thyrohyoid muscle and inferior pharyngeal constrictor. the sternothyroid inserts along the line.
