The stylohyoid muscle is one of the suprahyoid muscles .[1] temporal bone ; it inserts onto hyoid bone. It is innervated by a branch of the facial nerve . It acts draw the hyoid bone upwards and backwards.
Structure [ edit ]
The stylohyoid is a slender muscle .[2] [3]
It is perforated near its insertion by the intermediate tendon of the digastric muscle .[3]
The muscle arises from the posterior surface of the temporal styloid process ; it arises near the base of the process. It arises by a small tendon of origin.[3]
Insertion [ edit ]
The muscle inserts onto the body of hyoid bone at the junction of the body and greater cornu .[3]
The site of insertion is situated immediately superior to that of the superior belly of omohyoid muscle .[3]
Vasculature [ edit ]
The stylohyoid muscle receives arterial supply branches of the facial artery , posterior auricular artery , and occipital artery .[3]
Innervation [ edit ]
The stylohyoid muscle receives motor innervation from the stylohyoid branch of facial nerve (CN VII) .[3]
Relations [ edit ]
The muscle is situated antero superior to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle .[2]
Variation [ edit ]
It may be absent or doubled. It may be situated medial to the carotid artery . It may insert suprahyoid muscles of infrahyoid muscles.[3]
Actions/movements [ edit ]
The stylohyoid muscle elevates and retracts the hyoid bone (i.e. draws it superiorly and posteriorly).[3]
Function [ edit ]
