stylohyoid

—In connection with the Stylohyoideus muscle a ligamentous band, the stylohyoid ligament, may be described.

IV. Myology. 5c. The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles 1918

It arises from the whole length of the upper border of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone, from the lesser cornu, and from the stylohyoid ligament.

XI. Splanchnology. 2c. The Pharynx 1918

Its proximal part (tympanohyal) is ensheathed by the vaginal process of the tympanic portion, while its distal part (stylohyal) gives attachment to the stylohyoid and stylomandibular ligaments, and to the Styloglossus, Stylohyoideus, and Stylopharyngeus muscles.

II. Osteology. 5a. 4. The Temporal Bone 1918

The apex of each cornu gives attachment to the stylohyoid ligament; 47 the Chondroglossus rises from the medial side of the base.

II. Osteology. 5b. 9. The Hyoid Bone 1918

Higher up, it is separated from the external carotid by the Styloglossus and Stylopharyngeus, the tip of the styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament, the glossopharyngeal nerve and the pharyngeal branch of the vagus.

VI. The Arteries. 3a. 4. The Internal Carotid Artery 1918

The styloid process extends downward and forward for a variable distance from the lower part of the tympanic part, and gives attachment to the Styloglossus, Stylohyoideus, and Stylopharyngeus, and to the stylohyoid and stylomandibular ligaments.

II. Osteology. 5c. The Exterior of the Skull 1918

From its cartilage are developed the styloid process, stylohyoid ligament, and lesser cornu of the hyoid bone.

I. Embryology. 12. The Branchial Region 1918

The stylohyoid ligament extends from the apex of the process to the lesser cornu of the hyoid bone, and in some instances is partially, in others completely, ossified.

II. Osteology. 5a. 4. The Temporal Bone 1918

The hyoid bone is shaped like a horseshoe, and is suspended from the tips of the styloid processes of the temporal bones by the stylohyoid ligaments.

II. Osteology. 5b. 9. The Hyoid Bone 1918

-- the stylohyoid -- passes downwards on each side, from a process of the base of the skull to the corniculum of the os-hyoides or tongue-bone.
