The thyrohyoid branch [1] (also: thyrohyoid branch of ansa cervicalis, [2] or nerve to thyrohyoid (muscle) [2] [3]: 595, 600 ) is a motor branch derived from the cervical plexus [2] [2] [3]: 595, 600 [4]: 457, 709 formed by fibres of (the anterior ramus of [3]: 600 ) the cervical spinal nerve 1 (C1) [3]: 582 [5] [6] [4]: 457, 709 (and - according to some sources - cervical spinal nerve 2 (C2) as well [2] [4]: 457, 709 ) that join and travel with the hypoglossal nerve (cranial nerve XII) [5] to reach the suprahyoid region, [2] branching away from CN XII distal to the superior root of ansa cervicalis [3]: 582 [4]: 709 [6] (which is a branching other fibres of C1-C2 that had traveled with the CN XII [4]: 709 ), near the posterior border of the hyoglossus muscle. [3]: 600 The thyrohyoid branch of ansa cervicalis innervates the thyrohyoid muscle. [2] [6] [3]: 582 [4]: 457, 709
