OF COURSE THE AI DIAGRAM IS ELSEVIER. The Satan of med school.
Man the real diagram is also bad. Like super bad.
You either want to show the side muscles or you want to show all of the muscles connected to the hyoid bone, this one does neither, and because it wants to show both some of the hyoid muscles and the trapezius the angle is weird and it ends up looking a little misleading.
This one should be better, from the University of Wisconsin.
This one kinda does the same thing, where it tries to do both side and front and tilts the head weird to make it happen. But it's way better. (Also it labels the omohyoid as superior et inferior which is how I'm used to, I had never seen posterior and anterior before). Also labeling relevant structures like the posterior and anterior triangles is great.
Although they should label that splenius capitis, because from this angle it is easily confused with the semispinalis capitis.
Edit:Also the scalenius posterior isn't labeled, that's odd. Especially when you labeled the anterior and the medius, and it's not like it isn't there. It's just not labeled.
You'd be better off learning anatomy from WVW videos.
