Genioglossus
Abstract
The genioglossus may send a slip to the epiglottis, levator epiglottidis . It may send some fibers to the superior constrictor of the pharynx (geniopharyngeus) or to the stylohyoid ligament. Parts of the muscle may become isolated; for instance, a fasciculus might extend from the mental spine to the tip of the tongue (longitudinalis linguae inferior medius) .
