Musculus mylohyoideus

The video tutorial explains the anatomy and function of the suprahyoid muscles, which are located between the mandible and the temporal bone. These muscles form the floor of the mouth and are involved in various functions such as supporting the oral cavity, aiding in chewing, and facilitating jaw movement. The tutorial also covers the nerve supply to these muscles, highlighting the role of the mandibular nerve. Additionally, the video discusses the structural support provided by other muscles and the connective tissue, emphasizing the importance of these muscles in oral and mandibular functions.

What is the primary role of the suprahyoid muscles?

• To connect the tongue to the palate

• To form the floor of the mouth

• To support the lower jaw

• To assist in swallowing

Which nerve is responsible for innervating the mylohyoid muscle?

• Glossopharyngeal nerve

• Facial nerve

• Hypoglossal nerve

• Mandibular nerve

What accompanies the mylohyoid nerve through the sulcus mylohyoideus?

• Nerve of the same name

• Artery of the same name

• Vein of the same name

• Lymphatic vessel

How do the suprahyoid muscles contribute to the chewing process?

• By moving the tongue sideways

• By pulling the tongue leg forward and upwards

• By stabilizing the jaw

• By closing the oral cavity

What separates the sublingual region from the submandibular region?

• A large muscle

• A connective tissue

• A small opening at the rear end of the mylohyoid
