  2. Mylohyoid line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mylohyoid_line

    The mylohyoid line is a bony ridge on the internal surface of the body of the mandible. The mylohyoid line extends posterosuperiorly. The mylohyoid line continues as the mylohyoid groove on the internal surface of the ramus. The mylohyoid muscle originates from the anterior (front) part of the mylohyoid line. [1]

  3. Mylohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mylohyoid_muscle

    The two mylohyoid muscles arise from the mandible at the mylohyoid line, which extends from the mandibular symphysis in front to the last molar tooth behind. The posterior fibers pass inferomedially and insert at anterior surface of the hyoid bone. The medial fibres of the two mylohyoid muscles unite in a midline raphe (where the two muscles ...

  4. Muscles of mastication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscles_of_mastication

    The four classical muscles of mastication elevate the mandible (closing the jaw) and move it forward/backward and laterally, facilitating biting and chewing. Other muscles are responsible for opening the jaw, namely the geniohyoid , mylohyoid , and digastric muscles (the lateral pterygoid may play a role).

  5. Submental space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submental_space

    The submental space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space located between the mylohyoid muscle superiorly, the platysma muscle inferiorly, [1] under the chin in the midline.

  6. Suprahyoid muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suprahyoid_muscles

    The mylohyoid muscles are thin, flat muscles that form a sling inferior to the tongue supporting the floor of the mouth. The geniohyoids are short, narrow muscles that contact each other in the midline. [2] The stylohyoids are long, thin muscles that are nearly parallel with the posterior belly of the digastric muscle. [2]

  8. Lumbar triangle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumbar_triangle

    The superior lumbar (Grynfeltt-Lesshaft) triangle is formed medially by the quadratus lumborum, laterally by the posterior border of internal abdominal oblique muscle, and superiorly by the 12th rib. The floor of the superior lumbar triangle is the transversalis fascia and its roof is the external abdominal oblique muscle.

  9. Abdominal internal oblique muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdominal_internal_oblique...

    The internal oblique performs two major functions. Firstly as an accessory muscle of respiration, it acts as an antagonist (opponent) to the diaphragm, helping to reduce the volume of the chest cavity during exhalation. When the diaphragm contracts, it pulls the lower wall of the chest cavity down, increasing the volume of the lungs which then ...
