  2. Sternohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sternohyoid_muscle

    The sternohyoid muscle is a bilaterally paired, [1] long, [1] thin, [1] [2] narrow strap muscle [2] of the anterior neck. [1] It is one of the infrahyoid muscles. It is innervated by the ansa cervicalis. It acts to depress the hyoid bone. The sternohyoid muscle is a flat muscle located on both sides of the neck, part of the infrahyoid muscle group.

  3. Omohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omohyoid_muscle

    The omohyoid muscle is a muscle in the neck. It is one of the infrahyoid muscles. It consists of two bellies separated by an intermediate tendon. Its inferior belly is attached to the scapula; its superior belly is attached to the hyoid bone. Its intermediate tendon is anchored to the clavicle and first rib by a fascial sling.

  4. Ansa cervicalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ansa_cervicalis

    Branches of the ansa cervicalis innervate three of the four infrahyoid muscles: the sternothyroid, sternohyoid, and omohyoid muscles (note that the thyrohyoid muscle is the one infrahyoid muscle not innervated by the ansa cervicalis - it is instead innervated by cervical spinal nerve 1 via a separate thyrohyoid branch [2]: 582, 600 ).

  5. Infrahyoid muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrahyoid_muscles

    The four infrahyoid muscles are the sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid and omohyoid muscles. [1] Excluding the sternothyroid, the infrahyoid muscles either originate from or insert on to the hyoid bone. [2] The term infrahyoid refers to the region below the hyoid bone, while the term strap muscles refers to the long and flat muscle shapes ...

    Sternohyoid, omohyoid, sternothyroid are supplied by ansa cervicalis. Thyrohyoid: by a branch of hypoglossal nerve but the fibres are all 'hitch-hiking' from C1. Development

  7. Sternothyroid muscle - Wikipedia

    The sternothyroid muscle (or sternothyroideus) is an infrahyoid muscle of the neck. [1] ... (inferior to the origin of the sternohyoid muscle), ...

  8. Neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neck

    These muscles are grouped as the suprahyoid and infrahyoid muscles depending on if they are located superiorly or inferiorly to the hyoid bone. The suprahyoid muscles (stylohyoid, digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid) elevate the hyoid bone, while the infrahyoid muscles (omohyoid, sternohyoid, thyrohyoid, sternothyroid) depress it.

  9. Thyrohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrohyoid_muscle

    The thyrohyoid muscle is a small skeletal muscle of the neck. Above, it attaches onto the greater cornu of the hyoid bone ; below, it attaches onto the oblique line of the thyroid cartilage . It is innervated by fibres derived from the cervical spinal nerve 1 that run with the hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) to reach this muscle.
