  2. 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 ...

  3. Hyoglossus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyoglossus

    Laterally, in between the hyoglossus muscle and the mylohyoid muscle, lay several important structures (from upper to lower): sublingual gland, submandibular duct, lingual nerve, vena comitans of hypoglossal nerve, and the hypoglossal nerve.

  4. Anterior triangle of the neck - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_triangle_of_the_neck

    Mylohyoid: by its own nerve, a branch of the inferior alveolar (from the mandibular division of trigeminal nerve), which arises just before the parent nerve enters the mandibular foramen, pierces the sphenomandibular ligament, and runs forward on the inferior surface of the mylohyoid, supplying it and the anterior belly of the digastric.

  5. Sublingual space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sublingual_space

    the mylohyoid muscle inferiorly; the medial surface of the mandible anterolaterally; the muscles along the base of the tongue (geniohyoid and genioglossus muscles) posteriorly; medially, the intrinsic muscles of the tongue and genioglossus separate the two halves of the sublingual space.

  6. Geniohyoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geniohyoid_muscle

    The geniohyoid is a paired short muscle that arises from the inferior mental spine, on the back of the mandibular symphysis, and runs backward and slightly downward, to be inserted into the anterior surface of the body of the hyoid bone. [2]: 346 It lies in contact with its fellow of the opposite side. It thus belongs to the suprahyoid muscles.

  7. 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).

  8. 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]

  9. Submandibular space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submandibular_space

    The submandibular space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space, and is paired on either side, located on the superficial surface of the mylohyoid muscle between the anterior and posterior bellies of the digastric muscle. [1]
