Correct answer: D. Sternocleidomastoid
- A. Muscle fibres in the liqament of Treitz
- B. Omohyoid
- C. Occipitofrontalis
- D. Sternocleidomastoid
Explanation
A digastric muscle has two distinct muscular bellies, as seen in omohyoid and occipitofrontalis; the suspensory muscle associated with the ligament of Treitz is also described as having two parts. Sternocleidomastoid has two heads at its origin, not two bellies, making it the exception.
