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.
There are more than one, and are collectively known as sesamoid bones. However, the most obvious of these is the patella in the knee, which is incorporated into the quadriceps tendon.

The bone that forms the Adam's Apple. The hyoid bone is a small bone in the neck that assists speech. It is not connected to any other bone with cartilage and/or sinew.
The hyoid bone situated in the anterior(front) portion of the neck. It does not articulate directly with another bone, only cartilage
It's the hyoid bone. It's located in the throat and is an attachment point for the tongue.
The hyoid is not joined to another 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.
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.
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.
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.
The hyoid bone is the only bone in the adult body that doesn't articulate with another bone.
NO! The Hyoid Bone is the only bone that does not articulate with any other bone.

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.
The hyoid bone is only held in place by muscles. Therefore it doesn't articulate with any other bone.
All the bones in your body are capable of breaking. That answer is incorrect technically the only bone that cannot break in your body is the: Funny Bone

bone articulate with each other at joints.
The Hyoid bone does not have any articulations. It is commonly described as a gyroscope. It is held in place by the suprahyoid and infrahyoid musculature. It has a deep relationship with the Atlas however does not articulate directly with it.
