1992, M. M. Coburn, T. M. Cavender, “Phylogenetics of North American Cyprinidae”, in Richard L. Mayden, editor, Systematics, Historical Ecology, and North American Freshwater Fishes, page 362:

The hyoid cartilage is formed of a series of skeletal elements: entoglossum (or paraglossals), basihyal (basihyoid), basibranchial (or urohyal), ceratobranchial, and epibranchial (Fig. 3.21), the most anterior of which (entoglossum and basihyal) constitute the tongue skeleton.

1999, Nicole Le Douarin, Chaya Kalcheim, The Neural Crest, page 111:

In most mammals, the hyoid apparatus lies at or above the entrance to the larynx and consists of two basic parts: inferiorly, the unpaired basihyal and paired thyrohyal “horns” which connect the basihyal to the thyroid cartilage and superiorly, the paired suspensory stylohyoid chains which are made up of four cartilaginous or ossified links, the ceratohyal, epihyal, stylohyal, and tympanohyal, that connect the basihyal to the temporal bone (e.g., Howes 1896; Negus 1949).

coactivity

en-noun

coactivity (countable and uncountable, plural coactivities)

There is little question that a significant amount of antagonistic coactivation exists and is the rule rather than the exception under typical manual materials handling conditions. This coactivity has been noted in response to several workplace factors in several studies.

2012, Kevin P. Granata, Kermit G. Davis, William S. Marras, “Biomechanical Models in Ergonomics”, in Amit Bhattacharya, James D. McGlothlin, editor, Occupational Ergonomics: Theory and Applications, page 154:

In addition to stress-related mental health problems, coactivity may also indicate other stress-related problems like cardiovascular disease. Coactivation alters HR dynamics (Eickholt et al., 2018; Tulppo et al., 2005) and may predispose individuals to atrial fibrillation (Tan et al., 2008), a risk factor for heart attack and stroke (Odutayo et al., 2016). Hypothetically, situations that induce coactivity chronically may precipitate or exacerbate atrial fibrillation, placing individuals at greater risk of heart disease; however, this idea has yet to be explored empirically.
