a, b Means and standard deviations of superior PCSA force unit vectors (cm2) of a submental versus thyrohyoid versus long pharyngeal and of b suprahyoid versus thyrohyoid versus long pharyngeal. An analysis of variance with Tukey HSD of the unit force vector shows that the long pharyngeal muscles have as much potential to elevate the hyolaryngeal complex as the submental muscles, though the suprahyoid muscles as a group have the greatest potential for force in hyolaryngeal elevation
