Like in a greenhouse, greenhouse gasses let radiation from the sun reach Earth (the 'inside' of the greenhouse) but won't let the Earth reflect radiation. This is exactly what â¦ greenhouses do. Through the glass walls, the sunlight can come in, but once the rays are inside, the heat is trapped.
The sternohyoid muscle's main function is the depression of the hyoid bone. The hyoid bone is located below the mandible, or lower jaw, and is a U shaped bone that is partially responsible for tongue movement and the action of swallowing. The sternohyoid is one of a pair of muscles responsible for this action.
These muscles are part of the suprahyoid (above the hyoid) group of muscles. Together with the infrahyoid muscles (discussed below) these muscles fix the hyoid bone and this enables the hyoid bone to serve as a firm base for the attachment of the tongue. As a group these muscles also elevate the hyoid bone, the floor of the oral cavity, and tongue during swallowing. Muscle.
