the diagram shows different types of muscles

Who lies on the front of the neck and has too many sub-triangles??? Looking at you, ANTERIOR TRIANGLE of the neck! Gah! How to keep these straight? Track these 2️⃣ two-bellied muscles: digastric & omohyoid. The path of these muscles through the larger anterior triangle of the neck subdivides that region into 4️⃣ smaller triangles (submental, digastric/submandibular, carotid, and muscular).
