Which of the Following Muscles is NOT Considered a Suprahyoid

Question

Which of the following muscles is NOT considered a suprahyoid muscle?
A)Digastric muscle
B)Mylohyoid muscle
C)Stylohyoid muscle
D)Sternothyroid muscle

Accepted Answer

The Sternothyroid muscle is not considered a suprahyoid muscle as it lies inferiorly and does not contribute to the elevation of the hyoid bone. The Digastric, Mylohyoid, and Stylohyoid muscles are all suprahyoid muscles as they help to elevate the hyoid bone during swallowing and speaking.
