Stylohyoid muscle

This video tutorial by Matt from Kenhub focuses on the stylohyoid muscle, a part of the suprahyoid muscle group. It covers the anatomy, including its origin from the styloid process of the temporal bone and insertion into the hyoid bone, as well as its nerve supply by the facial nerve. The video explains the role of suprahyoid muscles in forming the floor of the mouth and their importance in chewing, swallowing, and speech. It concludes with a call to explore more resources on Kenhub.
