Muscles
Looks like
A short round tendon joining the two bellies of the digastric muscle, held to the hyoid bone by a fibrous loop.
What it does
Lets the two bellies pull together like a sling on the hyoid bone to lift it or open the jaw.
Keeping it well
Rarely a source of problems; it is a landmark for surgeons in the upper neck.
