The sternothyroid muscle originates at the first costal cartilage and inserts at the thyroid cartilage of the larynx. Its main function is to retract the larynx. Therefore, the sternothyroid muscle is the correct answer to the question.

Submit
3.
In the picture above, identify "D"- muscle and it's action.

Explanation

The correct answer is Sternohyoid: retracts the hyoid. The Sternohyoid muscle is responsible for pulling the hyoid bone downwards and backwards, helping to retract it. This action is important for swallowing and speaking.

Submit
4.
Identify the muscle labeled "D".

Explanation

The muscle labeled "D" is the Sternothyroid muscle.

Submit
5. Check all of the muscles that help move the tongue.

Explanation

The correct answer is Genioglossus and Styloglossus. These muscles are both located in the tongue and play a role in its movement. The Genioglossus muscle helps to protrude and retract the tongue, while the Styloglossus muscle helps to elevate and retract the tongue. The other two options, Mylohyoid and Sternohyoid, are not directly involved in tongue movement.

Submit

7. The styloglossus:

Explanation

The styloglossus muscle is responsible for inserting in the tongue and retracting and elevating the tongue. This means that it helps in pulling the tongue back and also raising it upwards. The other options mentioned in the question, such as drawing the tip of the tongue backward and the root forward or protracting the hyoid, are not the functions of the styloglossus muscle.

Submit
8. What is the action of the geniohyoid muscle?

Explanation

The geniohyoid muscle is responsible for protracting the hyoid bone. Protraction refers to the movement of bringing a body part forward or in an anterior direction. In this case, the geniohyoid muscle helps to move the hyoid bone forward, which can be important for actions such as swallowing and speaking.

Submit
9. This muscle inserts in the tongue and draws the tip of the tongue backward and the root of the tongue forward:

Explanation

The genioglossus muscle is responsible for inserting in the tongue and drawing the tip of the tongue backward and the root of the tongue forward. This muscle plays a crucial role in controlling tongue movements, such as protrusion and retraction. By contracting, it helps to shape the tongue and facilitate actions like swallowing, speaking, and chewing.

Submit
