    Correct Answer
    geniohyoid, hypoglossal 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).

    Rate this question:

  • 5.

  • 7. 

    Muscle and Nerve Innervation of the LarynxResponsible for stabilizing the hyoid bone and innervated by the hypoglossal XII:

    Correct Answer
    C. Sternohyoid, Sternothyoid,Thyrohyoid, Omohyoid
    Explanation
    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.
