The suprahyoid muscles are a group of four small muscles located above the hyoid bone that connect the mandible and tongue to the upper neck. Their primary function is to elevate the hyoid bone and floor of the mouth, playing a key role in swallowing, speech, and stabilizing the airway. Clinically, dysfunction or weakness in these muscles can contribute to dysphagia, speech difficulties, and complications in airway management.
