Where is the hyoid located?

A

between the mandible and larynx

25
Q

What is the primary function of the infrahyoid muscle?

A

they move the hyoid and larynx

26
Q

List the infrahyoid muscles

A

omohyoid, sternohyoid, sternothyroid, and thyrohyoid

27
Q

What muscles make up the superficial layer of the infrahyoid muscles?

A

omohyoid and sternohyoid

28
Q

What muscles make up the deep layer of the infrahyoid muscles?

A

sternohyoid and sternothyroid

29
Q

What is the origin of the inferior belly of the omohyoid?

A

the upper border of the sacpula

30
Q

Where does the inferior belly of the omohyoid end?

A

an intermediate tendon deep to the SCM

31
Q

What is the origin of the superior belly of the omohyoid?

A

it extends upwards from the intermediate tendon where the inferior belly ends

32
Q

What is th insertion of the omohyoid?

A

body of the hyoid bone

33
Q

What is the innervation of the omohyoid?

A

the ansa cervicalis (C1-C3)

34
Q

Function of the omohyoid

A

depresses hyoid and larynx

35
Q

Origin of the sternohyoid

A

posterior surface of manubrium, and medial end of the clavicle

36
Q

Insertion of the sternohyoid

A

body of the hyoid

37
Q

Innervation of the sternohyoid

A

ansa cervicalis (C1-C3)

38
Q

Function of the sternohyoid

A

depresses hyoid and larynx

39
Q

Origin of the sternothyroid

A

posterior surface of manubrium, and inferior to origin of sternohyoid

40
Q

Insertion of sternothyroid

A

oblique line on lamina of thyroid cartilage

41
Q

Innervation of sternothyroid

A

ansa cervicalis (C1-C3)

42
Q

Function of sternothyroid

A

depresses the larynx

43
Q

Origin of thyrohyoid

A

oblique line on lamina of thyroid cartilage

44
Q

Insertion of thyrohyoid

A

body of hyoid

45
Q

Innervation of thyrohyoid

A

C1 through hypoglossal

46
Q

Function of thyrohyoid

A

depresses hyoid bone

47
Q

Why do we need the muscles to depress the hyoid and larynx?

A

Swallowing, talking, respiration, and if hyoid is fixed, the digastric depresses the mandible
