    Study Notes

    Muscle Anatomy of the Neck

    • The anterior scalene muscle is labeled as 1.
    • The anterior belly of the digastric muscle is labeled as 2.
    • The thyrohyoid muscle is labeled as 3.
    • The superior belly of the omohyoid muscle is labeled as 4.
    • The sternocleidomastoid muscle is labeled as 5.
    • The sternohyoid muscle is labeled as 6.

    Muscle Identification

    • The muscle indicated by "A" is the anterior belly of the digastric.
    • The action of the muscle indicated by "A" is to elevate the hyoid bone during deglutition.
    • The muscle indicated by "B" is the sternohyoid.
    • The action of the muscle indicated by "B" is lateral flexion and rotation of the head to the same side.

    Muscle Actions

    • Elevates the lateral commissure of the lips (action of the anterior belly of the digastric).
    • Laterally flexes and rotates the head to the same side (action of the sternohyoid).
    • Elevates the hyoid bone (action of the anterior belly of the digastric).
    • Depresses the hyoid bone and larynx (action of the sternohyoid).
