The Suspensory Muscles of the Larynx

Four muscles directly form the suspension of the larynx during the act of singing. We saw earlier that the hyoid bone is located directly above the thyroid cartilage, which is suspended from the hyoid bone by the thyrohyoid ligament. Corresponding to the thyrohyoid ligament is the thyrohyoid muscle, which connects the thyroid cartilage directly above to the hyoid bone, supporting the larynx from above. The thyrohyoid muscle is a continuation of the sternothyroid muscle, originates at the oblique line of the thyroid cartilage just in front of the sternothyroid, and runs vertically upward to insert into the body and cornua of the hyoid bone (Fig. 3-1).
