Ansa cervicalis

18
Q

List the infrahyoid muscles

A

sternohyoid,
omohyoid
thyrohyoid
sternothyroid

19
Q

What are the actions of the infrahyoid muscles together? What effect does this have?

A

To depress the larynx, directly (Sternothyroid) or indirectly via the hyoid bone. This changes the volume of the resonating chambers and affects the quality of the voice.
Further action is to oppose the elevators of the larynx.
