The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles - WikiMD The Mentohyoideus muscle passes from the body of hyoid bone to chin. During the act of deglutition they raise the hyoid bone, and with it the base of the tongue; when the hyoid bone is fixed by its depressors and those of the larynx, they depress the mandible.

Tongue Suspension and Hyoid Suspension Electrocautery is used to detach the infrahyoid muscles from the body of the hyoid bone between the lesser cornuae. The polypropylene suture is passed around both sides of the hyoid bone in a figure of eight configuration. One end of the polypropylane suture is then loaded into a Mayo needle and is passed through the suprahyoid muscles using a full thickness bite of the tissue. www.influ-ent.com /KrespiAbstract.htm   (211 words)

The axial skeleton Chapter 7 The axial skeleton has 80 bones, roughly 40 percent of the bones in the human body. The styloid process, near the base of the mastoid process, is attached to ligaments that support the hyoid bone and to the tendons of several muscles associated with the hyoid bone, the tongue, and the pharynx. General Functions: The temporal bones form part of both the lateral walls of the cranium and the zygomatic arches; form the only articulation between the mandible and other facial bones; surround and protect the sense organs of the inner ear; and are attachment sites for muscles that close the jaws and move the head. www.udayton.edu /~brahler/axial_skeleton_chapter_7.htm   (668 words)

Hyoid bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The hyoid bone is shaped like a horseshoe, and is suspended from the tips of the styloid processes of the temporal bones by the stylohyoid ligaments. The hyoid bone( Os Hyoideum ; "Lingual Bone") is a bone in the human neck, not articulated to any other bone; it is supported by the muscles of the neck and in turn supports the root of the tongue. In cases of suspicious death, however, a fractured hyoid is a strong sign of strangulation. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hyoid   (424 words)

Hyoid Bone The blood vessels into and out of the hyoid bone are small branches of the external carotid artery, and are called "superior thyroid arteries" and "superior thyroid veins." It anchors muscles, especially those of the tongue, and is the only bone in the body which is not linked to another. The hyoid is closely associated with the skull but is not strictly a part of it. www.innerbody.com /text/skel11.html   (424 words)

The Evolution of the Woodpecker's Tongue The primary connections between the woodpecker's hyoid apparatus and the rest of its body are muscles and ligaments which attach the hyoid to the mandible (jawbone), cartilage of the throat, and base (not top) of the skull- the same configuration found in all other birds. Attachments of Mbm to hyoid horns and mandible (jawbone) are shown in purple. "There is a very curious gradation in the degree of elongation of the horns of the hyoid bone in the different American Woodpeckers, some of which consequently have the power of thrusting out their tongue to a much greater extent than others. www.talkorigins.org /faqs/woodpecker/woodpecker.html   (424 words)

PICTURES OF THYROGLOSSAL DUCT CYST  -  OTOLARYNGOLOGY HOUSTON Because the embryonic hyoid bone forms around the thyroglossal duct, it is important to remove the body of the hyoid along with the thyroglossal duct and follow it to the foramen caecum at the base of the tongue. The course of the thyroglossal duct from the lower neck, to the region of the hyoid. This axial CT scan shows a thyroglossal duct cyst that is located slightly off the midline.  For some obscure reason, thyroglossal duct cysts that are not exactly in the midline are usually on the left. www.ghorayeb.com /Thyroglossal.html   (424 words)

Hyoid Bone The hyoid bone is unique in that it is the only bone of the body that does not articulate with any other bone. This image shows the human hyoid bone, which helps to support the tongue and serves as an attachment point for several muscles that help to elevate the larynx during swallowing and speech.

CHAPTER 42: THE SKULL AND HYOID BONE 42-19 The" sphenoidal ridge" is the posterior border of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone. The groove between the petrous part of the temporal bone and the greater wing of the sphenoid bone is occupied in vivo by the cartilaginous part of the auditory tube. Laterally, the orbital plate of the frontal bone roofs the orbit and ethmoidal airsinuses and articulates behind with the lesser wing of the sphenoid bones. www.dartmouth.edu /~humananatomy/part_8/chapter_42.html   (6728 words)

Chapter 11: The Muscular System The muscles of facial expression, the muscles of mastication (chewing), the muscles of the tongue, and the muscles of the pharynx originate on the skull or hyoid bone. The palatoglossus muscle originates at the palate, the styloglossus muscle at the styloid process of the temporal bone, the genioglossus muscle at the chin, and the hyoglossus muscle at the hyoid bone (Figure 11-8 The other members of this group are straplike muscles that extend between the sternum and larynx (sternothyroid) or hyoid bone (sternohyoid), between the larynx and hyoid bone (thyrohyoid), and between the hyoid bone and chin (geniohyoid). cwx.prenhall.com /bookbind/pubbooks/martinidemo/chapter11/medialib/CH11/html/ch11_4_1.html   (1155 words)

Human skeleton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Another bone, the hyoid bone in the neck, does not touch any other bones in the body but is rather supported by muscles. The longest bone in the body is the femur and the smallest is the stapes bone in the middle ear.

Passing downward and forward, is inserted into the body of the hyoid bone, at its junction with the greater cornu, and just above the omohyoid muscle. It is a fibrous cord, which is attached to the tip of the styloid process of the temporal and the lesser cornu of the hyoid bone. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Stylohyoid_muscle   (334 words)

Anatomy & Physiology of the Larynx The larynx is suspended from the hyoid bone, which is significant in that it is the only bone in the body that does not articulate with any other bone. The extrinsic muscles are described as such because they attach to a site within the larynx and to a site outside of the larynx (such as the hyoid bone, jaw, etc.). The infrahyoid extrinsic laryngeal muscles work together to lower the hyoid bone and larynx. www.gbmc.org /voice/anatomyphysiologyofthelarynx.cfm   (722 words)
