Into Which of the Following Categories of Head and Neck

Question

Into which of the following categories of head and neck muscles is the omohyoid muscle placed?
A)Intrinsic tongue muscle
B)Extrinsic tongue muscle
C)Suprahyoid muscle
D)Infrahyoid muscle

Accepted Answer

The omohyoid muscle is an infrahyoid muscle, which means it is located below the hyoid bone in the neck. It is responsible for depressing the hyoid bone, which makes it an important muscle for swallowing and speaking. The other options are not correct as the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles are located within the tongue, and the suprahyoid muscles are located above the hyoid bone.
