Best Answer

the suprahyoid muscles, so called because they are located

superior to the hyoid bone, and (2) the infrahyoid muscles, named for

their position inferior to the hyoid bone. Both groups of

muscles stabilize the hyoid bone, allowing it to serve as a firm base on

which the tongue can move
