Suprahyoid muscles

This anatomy tutorial covers the suprahyoid muscles, focusing on their origins, insertions, innervation, and functions. The suprahyoid muscles, which include the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid, play a crucial role in forming the floor of the mouth and are involved in chewing, swallowing, and speech. The tutorial details the specific origins and insertions of each muscle, their nerve supply, and their functional roles in elevating the hyoid bone and assisting in mastication.

Explain the role of the geniohyoid muscle in the movement of the hyoid bone.
