Sternothyroid muscle

The video discusses the sternohyoid muscle, part of the infrahyoid muscle group located under the hyoid bone. It explains the origin and insertion of the sternohyoid, its relation to the thyroid gland, and its unique attachment characteristics. The video also covers the function and innervation of the infrahyoid muscles, highlighting their role in positioning the hyoid bone and aiding in swallowing and larynx movement. The sternohyoid depresses the larynx, while the thyrohyoid elevates it. The video concludes with a call to explore more anatomy resources on Kenhub.
