Q

Name the muscles and their innervation. Also, which other muscle attaches to #6? What is the combined action of 1 and 2? Which remaining suprahyoid muscle is not shown and what is its innervation?

A

Supplied by nerve to mylohyoid (branch of inferior alveolar nerve from CN V3 trigeminal):

  1. Anterior belly of digastric
  2. Mylohyoid

These push the tongue towards the roof of the mouth.

Supplied by branches of the facial nerve (CN VII):

  1. Stylohyoid
  2. Posterior belly of digastric

Other structures:

  1. Intermediate tendon and fascial sling for the digastric m.
  2. Mastoid process - SCM attaches here, too.

Other suprahyoid muscle is the geniohyoid, innervated by C1 via hypoglossal.
