Sternothyroid muscle

Flat 2D depiction of the sternothyroid muscle as an infrahyoid strap muscle of the anterior neck: an elongated, vertically oriented reddish-pink band with a smooth ribbon-like or rectangular shape, fine parallel longitudinal fibers, and a flat surface. It arises from the posterior surface of the manubrium and ascends to the oblique line of the thyroid cartilage. The muscle is broader than sternohyoid, with overall strap-like proportions and slight variation in width along its length, appearing somewhat narrower inferiorly and broader superiorly, with gently tapered ends.
