These muscles are attached to the superior aspect of the hyoid bone and connect it to the mandible and the temporal bone.💡 The suprahyoid group includes the following muscles: 🔸Mylohyoid muscle 🔸Geniohyoid muscle 🔸Digastric muscle 🔸Stylohyoid muscle Learn human anatomy fast at Anatomy.app!🧠 https://anatomy.app #anatomy #medschool #medstudent | Anatomy.app

Mylohyoid muscle is one of the suprahyoid muscles that, together with geniohyoid muscle forms the floor of the oral cavity. Along with the other suprahyoid muscles (digastric, geniohyoid and stylohyoid), it connects the hyoid bone to the skull. The functions of this muscle are to facilitate speech and deglutition by elevating the floor of the mouth and hyoid bone and depressing the mandible.
