The hyothyroid membrane (thyrohyoid membrane) is a broad fibro-elastic layer attached below to the upper border of the thyroid cartilage and to the front of its superior cornu and above to the upper margin of the posterior surface of the body and greater cornua of the hyoid bone thus passing behind the posterior surface of the body of the hyoid and being separated from it by a mucous bursa which facilitates the upward movement of the larynx during deglutition.
