The submental lymph nodes (or suprahyoid lymph nodes [citation needed]) are 2-3 lymph nodes [1] situated in the submental triangle, [1] between the anterior bellies of the digastric muscle and the hyoid bone.
This space is subdivided into four smaller triangles by the digastricus above, and the superior belly of the omohyoideus. These smaller triangles are named: the muscular triangle; the carotid triangle; the submandibular triangle; the submental triangle
The sublingual space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space [ 1 ] located below the mouth and above the mylohyoid muscle , and is part of the suprahyoid group of fascial spaces.
The deep cervical fascia (or fascia colli in older texts) lies under cover of the platysma, and invests the muscles of the neck; it also forms sheaths for the carotid vessels, and for the structures situated in front of the vertebral column. Its attachment to the hyoid bone prevents the formation of a dewlap. [1]
