Which infrahyoid muscle pulls the larynx downward?
What does it also depress?
Sternothyoid Muscle
hyoid bone
What is the appearance of the Stenothyroid muscle?

Pulls the hyoid downward and raises the larynx.
Thyrohyoid muscle
What innervates the thyrohyoid muscle?
C1 via hypoglossal nerve (CN XIII)
Pulls the hyoid down
Sternohyoid Muscle
What is the innervation of the sternohyoid muscle?
C1,C2,C3 from ansa cervicalis
Helps the Sternohyoid in pulling the hyoid downward.
Omohyoid
What innervates the omohyoid muscle?
C1,C2,C3 by a branch of the ansa cervicalis
What two muscles together raise the hyoid bone during swallowing?
Mylohyoid muscle

What two muscles assist the lateral pterygoid muscles in depressing the mandible (opening the mouth)?
Mylohyoid muscle
Geniohyoid muscle
What two muscles assist the posterior fibers of the temporalis muscles during retraction of the mandible?
Mylohyoid muscle
Geniohyoid muscle
What are the suprahyoid muscles?
Stylohyoid
Digastric
Mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
What two muscles form the floor of the mouth?
geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscles
Pulls the hyoid superiorly and posteriorly during swallowing, and fixes the hyoid bone for infrahyoid action.
Stylohyoid muscle
What innervates the Stylohyoid muscle?
Cervical branch of the facial nerve (CN VII)
Opens mouth by depressing mandible (ant. belly)
Fixes hyoid bone for infrahyoid action (post. belly)
Digastric muscle
What innervates the digastric muscle?
Anterior belly-mylohyoid nerve
(Branch of inf. alveolar nerve, and post. belly-facial nerve (CN VII)
Elevates the hyoid bone
Raises the floor of mouth (swallowing)
Depresses mand. when hyoid is fixed
Mylohyoid
Elevates the tongue
Depresses the mandible
Works with mylohyoid
Geniohyoid
What innervates the geniohyoid muscle?
C1 via hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)
What muscle do we use to stick out our tongues?
Genioglossus muscle
What are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue?
Genioglossus
Hyoglossus
Styloglossus
Palatoglossus
Acts to protrude the tongue and retract the tip of the tongue
Genioglossus Muscle
Where does the genioglossus originate and insert?
Originates: genial tubercle of mand.
Inserts: Dorsum of the tongue
Acts to depress the tongue
Hyoglossus
Where does the Hyoglossus muscle originate and insert?
Originates: greater and lesser horn of the hyoid
Inserts: Lateral aspect of the tongue
Main function is to retract and elevate the tongue
Styloglossus
Where does the styloglossus originate and insert?
Originates: from styloid process
Inserts: lateral aspect of the tongue
Acts to elevate the posterior tongue and closes the oropharyngeal isthmus. Also aids in the initiation of swallowing.
Palatoglossus
Where does the palatoglossus muscle originate and insert?
Originates: From the palatine aponeurosis
Inserts: On the side of the tongue
What are the intrinsic muscles of the tongue?
What are they named according to?
Longitudinal, Transverse, Vertical
Named according to the three spatial planes that they run
What do the Intrinsic muscles of the tongue do?
Alter the shape of the tongue
Longitudinal: Shorten tongue
Transverse: narrows tongue
Vertical: flatten & broaden tongue
This muscle compresses the cheek, holding food under the teeth, and plays a subsidiary role in mastication.
Buccinator
What are the muscle of mastication that are responsible for the movement of the mandible in the chewing of food?
Masseter
Temporalis
Med. Pterygoid
Lat. Pterygoid
What are the movements that the muscles of mastication are responsible for?
elevation
depression
retraction
protraction
lateral excursions
The breaking down or chewing of food so that it may be easily attacked by digestive enzymes.
Mastication
Which teeth are responsible of the incision of food
Incisors
What teeth are responsible for prehension of food?
Canines
What teeth are responsible for the trituration of food?
Premolars and Molars
If a patient opens their mouth and their mand. deviates left then what muscle is possibly lessioned?
Lt. Lateral Pterygoid
Which side will the mand. always deviate when injured?
The side of the injury
What nerve must be affected for the tongue to deviate?
Which way will it deviate?
Hypoglossal Nerve
Deviates toward the affected side
What is the main stabilizing ligament of the TMJ?
Temporomandibular ligament
This ligament restricts downward and posterior movement of the mand. and guides the forward motion of the condyle during opening.
Temporomandibular ligament
Where does the Temporomandibular lig. originate?
The lateral surface of the zygomatic arch and a tubercle on its lower border
Where does the temporomandibular lig. Insert?
Directed down and back from origination to insert into post. border and lat. surface of the neck of the mandible.
What muscle is used to make excursive movements of the mand.?
Lateral Pterygoid on the side of the movement
Results from the contraction of one lateral pterygoid muscle on the opposite side
Lateral Excursions
Elevation of the Mand. (during jaw closing)
Masseter
Elevation of the Mand. (during jaw closing)
Retraction of the Mand. (lower jaw backward)
Temporalis
Elevation of the Mand. (during jaw closing)
Medial Pterygoid
What are the movements of the Lateral Pterygoid?
Inf. heads: slight depression of mand.
(during jaw opening)
One muscle: lateral deviation of mand.
(to shift lower jaw to opposite side)
Both muscles: Protrusion of Mand.
