Another term describing structures relating to the horn-shaped bone of the hyoid apparatus, particularly in fish skeletal anatomy.
From Greek 'keras' (horn) + 'hyoid' (the bone itself). This is essentially a variant form of ceratohyal, used interchangeably in anatomical literature.
Scientists sometimes use both ceratohyal and ceratohyoid to describe the same structure—it shows how anatomical terminology can have multiple acceptable names depending on regional scientific traditions!
