Two tongue muscles are shown from a ventrolateral view. The styloglossus m. (1) attaches to the stylohyoid bone. The hyoglossus m. (2) also attaches to hyoid bones. The hypoglossal n. (3) runs caudally along the styloglossus m. and crosses the hyoglossus m.

Also notice the sternohyoideus (4), geniohyoideus (5), mylohyoideus (6), thyrohyoideus (7), and hyopharyngeus (8) muscles. The mandible (asterisk) and digastricus m. (9) can be seen.
