What is a function of the highlighted muscle Digastric?

Function. The digastric muscle is involved in any complex jaw action such as speaking, swallowing, chewing and breathing. When the digastric muscle contracts, it acts to elevate the hyoid bone. If the hyoid is being held in place (by the infrahyoid muscles), it will tend to depress the mandible (open the mouth).

Where is the infraspinatus muscle?

The infraspinatus is one of four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, which helps your arm and shoulder move and stay stable. Your infraspinatus is in the back of your shoulder. It attaches the top of your humerus (the top bone in your arm) to your shoulder, and it helps you rotate your arm to the side.

What is a function of the highlighted muscle elevates hyoid?

Along with the other suprahyoid muscles (digastric, geniohyoid and stylohyoid), it connects the hyoid bone to the skull. The functions of this muscle are to facilitate speech and deglutition by elevating the floor of the mouth and hyoid bone and depressing the mandible.

What is the insertion of the infraspinatus?

INSERTION. Middle facet of greater tuberosity of humerus and capsule of shoulder joint. ACTION. Laterally rotates arm and stabilizes shoulder joint.

Where does the infraspinatus tendon insert?

The infraspinatus muscle has its origin in the infraspinous fossa of the scapula and inserts into the middle facet of the greater tuberosity of the humerus (see Fig. 42-1). It is at this insertion that infraspinatus tendinitis most commonly occurs.
