3. The ___________ elevates and retracts the hyoid bone and is innervated by ___________ .

*** Answer should appear such as this (example only): frontalis, facial VII ***

The stylohyoid muscle elevates and retracts the hyoid bone. It is innervated by the facial nerve (VII).

Explanation

The stylohyoid muscle elevates and retracts the hyoid bone. It is innervated by the facial nerve (VII).

4. Muscle and Nerve Innervation of the Larynx

Responsible for stabilizing the hyoid bone and innervated by the hypoglossal XII:

Sternohyoid, Stylohyoid, Thyrohyoid, Omohyoid

Stylohyoid, Omohyoid, Mylohyoid, Stylothyroid

Sternohyoid, Sternothyoid,Thyrohyoid, Omohyoid

Sternohyoid, Stylothyoid, Sternothyroid, Thyrohoid

Omohyoid, Sternothyroid, ,Stylothyroid, mylohyoid

The muscles responsible for stabilizing the hyoid bone and innervated by the hypoglossal XII are the Sternohyoid, Sternothyroid, Thyrohyoid, and Omohyoid muscles. These muscles help to support and position the hyoid bone, which is important for swallowing and speech production. The hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) provides motor innervation to these muscles, allowing them to contract and perform their functions.

Explanation

5. The ___________ elevates the hyoid bone, raises floor of mouth during swallowing and is innervated by _____________ ?

*** Answer should appear such as this (example only): frontalis, facial VII ***

The mylohyoid muscle elevates the hyoid bone and raises the floor of the mouth during swallowing. It is innervated by the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).

Explanation

The mylohyoid muscle elevates the hyoid bone and raises the floor of the mouth during swallowing. It is innervated by the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).

Submit

6. The ___________ elevates and draws hyoid bone forward and assists in depressing mandible. Is also innervated by ______________.

*** Answer should appear such as this (example only): frontalis, facial VII ***

The geniohyoid muscle elevates and draws the hyoid bone forward, as well as assists in depressing the mandible. It is innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (XII).

Explanation

The geniohyoid muscle elevates and draws the hyoid bone forward, as well as assists in depressing the mandible. It is innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (XII).

Explanation

The digastric muscle elevates the hyoid bone and assists in depressing the mandible. It is innervated by both the trigeminal nerve (V) and the facial nerve (VII).
