The omohyoid muscle is a long, slender muscle located in the neck region. It consists of two bellies - the superior belly and the inferior belly - connected by an intermediate tendon. The muscle runs from the upper border of the scapula to the hyoid bone in the neck.
The primary function of the omohyoid muscle is to depress and stabilize the hyoid bone during swallowing and speaking. It also helps in flexing and rotating the neck.
The omohyoid muscle is innervated by the ansa cervicalis, a nerve plexus that supplies motor innervation to several muscles in the neck.
Injuries or strains to the omohyoid muscle can cause difficulty in swallowing, pain in the neck region, and limited range of motion in the neck. Physical therapy, stretching exercises, and rest are often recommended for treating muscle strains.
Overall, the omohyoid muscle plays an important role in the movement and function of the neck and throat region.
