El milohioideo es un músculo suprahioideo del cuello. Es un músculo de forma triangular que forma el suelo de la cavidad oral y sostiene el suelo de la boca. Inserciones: se origina en la línea milohioidea de la mandíbula y se inserta en el hueso hioides. Acciones: eleva el hueso hioides y el suelo de la boca. Inervación: nervio alveolar inferior, una rama del nervio mandibular (que se origina en el nervio trigémino). Irrigación sanguínea: rama milohioidea de la arteria alveolar inferior (que a su vez es una rama de la arteria maxilar).

Learn More Frequent questions What is the milohioideo muscle? The milohioideo muscle is a triangular suprahyoid muscle located in the neck that forms the floor of the oral cavity and supports the base of the mouth. What are the attachments of the milohioideo muscle? This muscle originates from the mylohyoid line of the mandible and inserts into the hyoid bone, providing structural support to the oral cavity. What actions does the milohioideo muscle perform? The primary actions of the milohioideo muscle include elevating the hyoid bone and raising the floor of the mouth during swallowing and speaking. Which nerve innervates the milohioideo muscle? The milohioideo muscle is innervated by the inferior alveolar nerve, a branch of the mandibular nerve, which originates from the trigeminal nerve. What is the blood supply to the milohioideo muscle? The blood supply to the milohioideo muscle comes from the mylohyoid branch of the inferior alveolar artery, which is a branch of the maxillary artery. Rate This Article
