Omohyoid muscle the body of the hyoid bone, lateral to the insertion of the sternohyoid. The central tendon of this muscle varies much in length and form, and is held in position by a process of the deep cervical fascia, which sheaths it, and is prolonged down to be attached to the clavicle and first rib; it is by this means that the angular form of the muscle is maintained. The tendon overlies the internal jugular vein, and can be used as a landmark for this vein during surgery. Doubling; absence; origin from clavicle; absence or doubling of either belly. The inferior

The depressor supercilii originates on the medial orbital rim, near the lacrimal bone, and inserts on the medial aspect of
