Exam 4 Head/ Neck Muscles Flashcards
(103 cards)
What is the insertion of the mylohyoid?
Mylohyoid raphe and body of hyoid
What is the origin of the mylohoid?
Mylohyoid line of mandible
What is the innervation of the mylohyoid?
Nerve to mylohoid, a branch of inferior alveolar nerve (from mandibular nerve, CN V3)
What is the action of the mylohyoid?
Elevates hyoid, floor of mouth, and tongue during swallowing and speaking
What is the origin of the geniohyoid?
Inferior mental spine of mandible
What is the insertion of the geniohyoid?
Body of hyoid
What is the innervation of the geniohyoid?
C1 via hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)
What is the action of the geniohyoid?
Pulls hyoid anterosuperiorly; shortens floor of mouth; widens pharynx
What is the origin of the stylohyoid?
Styloid process of temporal bone
What is the insertion of the stylohyoid?
Body of hyoid
What is the innervation of the stylohyoid?
Stylohyoid branch of facial nerve (CN VII)
What is the action of the stylohyoid?
Elevates and retracts hyoid, thus elongating floor of mouth
What is the origin of the digastric?
Anterior belly: digastric fossa of mandible
Posterior belly: mastoid notch of temporal bone
What is the insertion of the digastric?
Intermediate tendon to body and greater horn of hyoid
What is the innervation of the digastric?
Anterior belly: nerve to mylohyoid, a branch of inferior alveolar nerve
Posterior belly: digastric branch of facial nerve (CN VII)
What is the action of the digastric?
Working with infrahyoid muscles, depresses mandible against resistance, elevates and steadies hyoid during swallowing and speaking
What are the suprahyoid muscles?
- Mylohyoid
- Geniohyoid
- Stylohyoid
- Digastric
What is the origin of the sternohyoid?
Manubrium of sternum and medial ned of clavicle
What is the insertion of the sternohyoid?
Body of hyoid
What is the innervation of the sternohyoid?
C1-C3 by a branch of ansa cervicalis
What is the action of the sternohyoid?
Depresses hyoid after elevation during swallowing
What is the origin of the omohyoid?
Superior border of scapula near suprascapular notch
What is the insertion of the omohyoid?
Inferior border of hyoid
What is the innervation of the omohyoid?
C1-C3 by a branch of ansa cervicalis
