thyrohyoid O
oblique line of thyorid cartilage
thyrohyoid I
inferior border of body and greater horn of hyoid
thyrohyoid innervation
C1 via hypoglossal nerve
thyrohyoid action

branch of inferior alveolar nerve (from mandibular nerve, CN V3)
mylohyoid action
elevates hyoid
floor of mouth
tongue during swallowing and speaking
