The hyoid bone (Lingual Bone) is a bone in the human neck that does not articulate with any other bone. It is suspended by some of the ligaments and muscles of the neck and in turn supports the root of the tongue.

What axial skeleton bone is the only one in the body that does not articulate with another bone?
the hyoid bone, also known as lingual bone, it is in the neck. it's supported by the muscles of the neck and supports the root of the tongue.
Bone that does not articulate with any other bone?
Sesamoid bones are small circular bones that are embedded in a tendon and do not technically articulate with another bone. The biggest sesamoid bone in the body is the patella, also known as the knee cap. Actually its more of a trick question. the only bone that does not come in contact with any other bone in the body is the Hyoid bone. Even though the knee cap and other seasmoid bones don't technically articulate with any other bone they are still within close proximity, most often when this question is asked the answer being looked for is the Hyoid bone.
What process on the scapula does not articulate with other bone?
The medial border of the scapula is what does not articulate on the scapula with any other bone. It is actually parallel to the vertebrae column and because it does not articulate the arms as well as shoulders have move movement.
What bone runs along the thumb side of the forearm?
The thumb articulates with the trapezium (one of the carpal bones of the wrist) and does not directly articulate with the ulna or the radius.
How is the hyoid bone unique to the axial skeleton?
The standard answer is that the hyloid (lingual bone) is the only bone in the human body not articulated to another bone. A lesser reported claim to fame is the hyloid's popularity with detective story writers who call on the hyloid to prove or disprove chocking as the cause of death in their stories" (What would CSI be without a quick "His hyloid was unbroken , he couldn't have been choked to death.) But the most interesting fact concerning the hyloid, or its absence, was that it was the principle "proof" that Neanderthals could not speak. Now the discovery, in 1983, of a Neanderthal hyoid bone was found at the Kebara Cave in Israel confused the issue again.

What are cartilage and ligaments?
Joins are where two bones meet and articulate. Ligaments hold these joints together by attaching bone to bone. Cartilage is a smooth, soft tissue that separates the bones in the joint so that they do not directly rub on each other as they articulate.
