The infrahyoid are a group of four muscles that are positioned inferiorly to the hyoid bone in the neck. They can be classified into two groups:

Superficial Muscles – omohyoid and sternohyoid muscles.
Deep Muscles – sternothyroid and thyrohyoid muscles.
The arterial supply via the superior and inferior thyroid arteries, with venous drainage via similar veins.

  • Omohyoid
  • Sternohyoid
  • Sternothyroid
  • Thyrohyoid

Scalene Muscles

The scalene muscles are three paired muscles, located in the lateral aspect of the neck. Collectively, they form part of the floor of the posterior triangle of the neck.
The scalenes perform as accessory muscles of respiration and produce flexion at the neck.
