What is a weird named bone in your body?
I will have to say that the most unusual bone in the human body is the hyoid bone in your neck behind the voicebox or larynx. This bone helps keep the breathing tube down your neck nice and open. When a person is strangled by hand, the hyoid is often broken, which lets the breathing tube collapse. First, nearly no normal person even knows it exists. Second, it is a bone that does not touch any other bones. And third, oddly enough, it is a bone that you can touch, an probably do (through the skin, of course) every once in a while, and do not realize it.
