The digastric muscle (also digastricus) (named digastric as it has two bellies) is a small muscle located under the jaw. It lies below the body of the mandible, and extends, in a curved form, from the mastoid process to the symphysis menti. It belongs to the suprahyoid muscles group. A broad aponeurotic layer is given off from the tendon of the digastricus on either side, to be attached to body and greater cornu of the hyoid bone; this is termed the suprahyoid aponeurosis. Wikipedia:Digastric_muscle].
In most mammals there is a common tendon between the ant. and post. muscles, which also makes a connection to the hyoid apparatus, and then the other attachment is to the base of the cranium
this class refers to the mereological sum of digastric muscles in an organism (typically two).
