Please help label the following 

**Anterior View of Neck Muscles with Platysma Removed**

This diagram illustrates the anterior view of neck muscles with the platysma removed. The various muscles and structures are labeled to show their anatomical position.

1. **Digastricus, Anterior Belly** - Located in the front part of the neck, involved in jaw movement.
2. **Digastricus, Posterior Belly** - Positioned towards the back of the jaw, plays a role in swallowing and jaw movement.
3. **Mylohyoideus** - Lays beneath the mandible, supports the tongue and elevates the hyoid bone.
4. **Omohyoideus** - Originates from the shoulder blade, helps in depressing the hyoid.
5. **Sternocleidomastoideus** - A prominent neck muscle responsible for rotation and flexion of the head.
6. **Sternohyoideus** - Connects the sternum to the hyoid bone, involved in lowering the hyoid.
7. **Sternothyroideus** - Extends from the sternum to the thyroid cartilage, assists in lowering the larynx.
8. **Thyroid Cartilage** - A large structure that forms part of the larynx, provides support and protection.

Each muscle is depicted in orange, showing its specific location and alignment, with the hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage marked to clarify the relationship and function within the neck's anatomy.
