Muscular attachments of the hyoid bone (mnemonic)

Last revised by Daniel J Bell on 16 Mar 2019

A handy mnemonic to recall the muscle attachments of the hyoid bone. The first sentence is for six muscles attaching superiorly, the second sentence is for three muscles attaching inferiorly. Both sentences are in order from lateral to medial:

  • Christopher, He Didn't See Girls Much. That's Obvious, Stupid.
