Omohyoid Muscle:
Job:
- depresses hyoid
- Tenses cervical fascia during prolonged inhale
- crosses over internal jugular vein
Location:
two muscle bellies + a tendon in between
Scapula -> Intermediate tendon
intermediate tendon -> hyoid

Ok so now for the part that's new to me: neck muscles sandwiching the internal jugular vein
Specific muscles mentioned:
- sternocleidomastoid
- omohyoid
- anterior scalene muscles
Symptoms typically worsen when the head is bent forward, and turned to the side (ie same side as the squashed vein)

![Compression of the IJV at the atlas (C1) has been previously studied, but more recently recognized is entrapment of the IJV in the mid-neck from a combination of the overlying SCM/OMH and the underlying ASM [6, 7, 19, 20]. These muscles can “sandwich” the IJV and lead to compression at baseline that worsens when the muscles are activated, typically with head flexion and ipsilateral rotation. This mechanism is important because many traumatic and inflammatory insults can injure muscles in the neck.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jfm6lmavpepsj4fe6l6z4vhq/bafkreifnsat36fol7tr4bzwcpssqns56d5dch6dcb2rlpz2g3hsglxqjai)
