The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles - WikiMD

During the act of deglutition they raise the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone, and with it the base of the tongue; when the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone is fixed by its depressors and those of the larynx, they depress the mandible.
The Mentohyoideus muscle passes from the body of <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone to chin.
The Sternohyoideus ( Sternohyoid muscle) is a thin, narrow muscle, which arises from the posterior surface of the medial end of the clavicle, the posterior sternoclavicular ligament, and the upper and posterior part of the manubrium sterni.

The stylohyoid muscle originates at the styloid process and inserts at the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone.
The omohyoid muscle originates at the scapula and inserts at the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone.
Sub-<bb>>hyoidb>bb>> muscles are categorized as such because they generally lie inferiorly of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone.

Neck muscles

It assists the mylohyoid and geniohyoid muscles in moving the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone and the tongue upward and forward and then upward and backward during the process of swallowing.
The muscle pulls the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone down, as in swallowing, and assists in flexion of the head and neck.
It assists the geniohyoid, which lies just beneath the mylohyoid muscle, and the digastric muscles in moving the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone and the tongue upward and forward and then upward and backward during the process of swallowing.

The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone would appear to provide a readily identifiable (radiographic) anatomic landmark, whose position is the result of a multifactorial postural system, which is closely aligned with maintaining respiratory function.
In the first instance, the relationships existing between AHI and the measurements pertaining to the position of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone (H) relative to the third cervical vertebra and to the anterior cranial base (S) were analysed to determine the Spearmans correlation coefficients.
These results suggest that the inter-subject variability in <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone position as related to the point S on the anterior cranial base, which one might attribute to postural differences and to expected differences in craniofacial dimensions (size), may be less significant than expected.

The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> is a single small "U" shaped bone in the adult which does not articulate with any other bone.
The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> does not articulate with (i.e., touch) any other bones.
It is suspended from the styloid process of each temporal bone by means of the stylohyoid ligaments.

Tongue Suspension and <bb>>Hyoidb>bb>> Suspension

Electrocautery is used to detach the infrahyoid muscles from the body of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone between the lesser cornuae.
The polypropylene suture is passed around both sides of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone in a figure of eight configuration.
One end of the polypropylane suture is then loaded into a Mayo needle and is passed through the suprahyoid muscles using a full thickness bite of the tissue.

The Evolution of the Woodpecker's Tongue

The primary connections between the woodpecker's <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> apparatus and the rest of its body are muscles and ligaments which attach the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> to the mandible (jawbone), cartilage of the throat, and base (not top) of the skull- the same configuration found in all other birds.
"There is a very curious gradation in the degree of elongation of the horns of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone in the different American Woodpeckers, some of which consequently have the power of thrusting out their tongue to a much greater extent than others.
Attachments of Mbm to <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> horns and mandible (jawbone) are shown in purple.

Tongue base surgery

The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone is important in determining tongue position, and the anterior advancement of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone can enlarge the airway at the tongue base level.
The position of the tongue is largely determined by the position of two bones: the lower jaw (or mandible) and the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone.
The decision as to which procedure(s) should be offered to any given patient is determined by careful examination of the patients airway, with particular attention to the size, shape, and relationship of the jaws, size and position of the tongue, position of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>>, and expectations of the patient.

The Location of <bb>>Hyoidb>bb>> Fractures in Strangulation Revealed by Xeroradiography. Pollanen MS, Bulger <bb>>Bb>bb>>, Chiasson D . 1995;40(2): 303-305.

On this basis, although the presence of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> fracture in strangulation is determined by the rigidity of the bone, the specific location is determined by the shape of the greater cornu.
These results indicate that fractures of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> occur at vulnerable angles of curvature of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone which, due to anatomic variation in <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> shape, do not necessarily occur at specific segments of the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone.

eMedicine - Conservation Laryngeal Surgery, Supracricoid Laryngectomy : Article by Stephen Y Lai, MD, PhD

<bb>>Hyoidb>bb>>: The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone is the most superior portion of the laryngeal skeleton and serves as the point of attachment for the strap muscles and suprahyoid musculature.
The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone is rarely involved by laryngeal lesions and can be spared in resection of supraglottic carcinoma unless tumor is found at the level of the tongue or within the vallecula.
The reconstruction for this more extensive technique is accomplished by suturing the cricoid to the <bb>>hyoidb>bb>>, termed a cricohyoidopexy (CHP).

<bb>>Hyoidb>bb>> bone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone( Os Hyoideum ; "Lingual Bone") is a bone in the human neck, not articulated to any other bone; it is supported by the muscles of the neck and in turn supports the root of the tongue.
The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> bone is shaped like a horseshoe, and is suspended from the tips of the styloid processes of the temporal bones by the stylohyoid ligaments.
The <bb>>hyoidb>bb>> is ossified from six centers: two for the body, and one for each cornu.
