Anterior Neck - Suprahyoid Flashcards
Digastric - Anterior Belly Origin
Digastric fossa of mandible
Digastric - Anterior Belly Insertion
Intermediate tendon to body and greater horn of hyoid
Digastric - Anterior Belly Innervation
Nerve to mylohyoid, a branch of inferior alveolar nerve
Digastric - Anterior Belly Action
Working with infrahyoid muscles, depresses mandible against resistance; elevates and steadies hyoid during swallowing and speaking
Digastric - Posterior Belly Origin
Mastoid notch of temporal bone
Digastric - Posterior Belly Insertion
Intermediate tendon to body and greater horn of hyoid
Digastric - Posterior Belly Innervation
Digastric branch of (preparotid) facial nerve (CN VII)
Digastric - Posterior Belly Action
Working with infrahyoid muscles, depresses mandible against resistance; elevates and steadies hyoid during swallowing and speaking
Mylohyoid Origin
Mylohyoid line of mandible
Mylohyoid Insertion
Mylohyoid raphe and body of hyoid
Mylohyoid Innervation
Nerve to mylohyoid, a branch of inferior alveolar nerve (from mandibular nerve, CN V3)
Mylohyoid Action
Elevates hyoid, floor of mouth, and tongue during swallowing and speaking
Stylohyoid Origin
Stylohyoid process of temporal bone
Stylohyoid Insertion
Body of hyoid
Stylohyoid Innervation
Stylohyoid branch of (preparotid) facial nerve (CN VII)
