Thyrohyoid muscle
The Thyrohyoid muscle is a small, quadrilateral muscle appearing like an upward continuation of the Sternothyreoideus. It belongs to the infrahyoid muscles group.
It originates at the oblique line of thyroid cartilage and inserts onto the inferior border of body and greater horn of hyoid. It is innervated by a branch of cervical nerve 1, which joins the hypoglossal nerve for a short distance, and depresses the hyoid and elevates the larynx.
The Examiner1 comment In the land of men, size really does matter. Men have been pumping iron for decades with one goal in mind-adding size to the muscles-especially the . The bigger the guns the better. Arnold Schwarzenegger and come to mind when thinking of men with muscles. Men head for the weights with the goal of building muscle mass like these...
Yahoo Daily NewsScientists have found and manipulated body chemistry linked to the aging of muscles and were able to turn back the clock on old human muscle, restoring its ability to repair and rebuild itself, they said today. The study involved a small number of participants, however. And the news is not all rosy. Importantly, the research also found evidence that need to be kept in shape,...
The GleanerAll of our muscles are not entirely the same. They have a mixture of white and red or fast-twitch and slow-twitch fibres. Muscle cells or fibres that contract or twitch fast are called fast twitch, and those that contract slowly are called slow twitch. Fast-twitch muscle fibres are especially adapted to short, explosive contraction. A biopsy of the muscles that extend and flex...
PhysOrgTraditionally, doctors and clinicians thought diseases that affect muscles or bones affected those areas specifically. For example, bone diseases only affect bones, or muscle diseases only concerned muscles. But recent evidence supports the notion that bones and muscles are more interconnected than previously thought. It seems that bones and muscles can release signals that...
redOrbitPosted on: Thursday, 11 November 2010, 06:05 CST Researchers from the University of Colorado at Boulder reported Wednesday that certain types of stem cells transplanted into the leg muscles of mice prevented the loss of muscle function and mass that typically occurs with aging. The researchers injected the stem cells into the muscles of injured mice, and observed that the...
PhysOrg--> A University of Colorado at Boulder-led study shows that specific types of stem cells transplanted into the leg muscles of mice prevented the loss of muscle function and mass that normally occurs with aging, a finding with potential uses in treating humans with chronic, degenerative muscle diseases. The experiments showed that when young host mice with limb muscle injuries...
The GleanerDear Dr Gardner, I need some information from any of the exercise physiologist writers on some activities that can decrease fat and increase muscle mass in a type 2 diabetic patient. Thanks. Dear Reader, It is good that you have indicated your appreciation for the value of exercise in the management of your diabetic problem. However, there are some guidelines which you should...
Yahoo Daily NewsCHICAGO (Reuters) – A new understanding of the genes that make muscle cells may change the way researchers think about stem cell transplants for muscular dystrophy and muscle injuries, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday. In a surprise finding, they said genes important for forming muscle cells in embryos and newborns are not normally active in adult stem cells. And...

Newstrack IndiaWashington, Oct 6 (ANI): A diet rich in fat could damage muscle health in pre-diabetic teenagers despite any problem in muscle function, says a new study. Researchers at McMaster University have reported that the health of young adult muscle declines during the pre-diabetic state, which is when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but lower than during Type 2...
