Hyoglossus
Extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Left side. (Hyoglossus visible at center.)
Muscles of the neck. Anterior view. Hyoglossal muscle in purple
Latinmusculus hyoglossus
subject #242 1129
Origin:hyoid
Insertion:side of the tongue

Nerve:hypoglossal nerve

Dorlands/Elsevier m_22/12549261
The Hyoglossus, thin and quadrilateral, arises from the side of the body and from the whole length of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone, and passes almost vertically upward to enter the side of the tongue, between the Styloglossus and Longitudinalis inferior.

The fibers arising from the body of the hyoid bone overlap those from the greater cornu.

It is important in singing.
