  2. Digastric muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digastric_muscle

    The digastric muscle (also digastricus) (named digastric as it has two 'bellies') is a bilaterally paired suprahyoid muscle located under the jaw.Its posterior belly is attached to the mastoid notch of temporal bone, and its anterior belly is attached to the digastric fossa of mandible; the two bellies are united by an intermediate tendon which is held in a loop that attaches to the hyoid bone.

  3. 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.

  4. 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]

  5. 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).

  6. Mandible - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandible

    Below the mental spine is an oval depression (the digastric fossa of the mandible) where the digastric muscle attaches. [7] Extending backward and upward on either side from the lower symphysis is a ridge called the mylohyoid line , where the mylohyoid muscle attaches; a small part of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle attaches to the ...

  7. Facial muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_muscles

    The facial muscles are just under the skin (subcutaneous) muscles that control facial expression. They generally originate from the surface of the skull bone (rarely the fascia), and insert on the skin of the face. When they contract, the skin moves. These muscles also cause wrinkles at right angles to the muscles’ action line. [2]

  8. Pharyngeal arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngeal_arch

    All of the pharyngeal muscles of the second pharyngeal arch are innervated by the facial nerve. These muscles include the muscles of facial expression, the posterior belly of the digastric, the stylohyoid muscle, the auricular muscle [16] and the stapedius muscle of the middle ear.

  9. Facial artery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_artery

    The facial artery arises in the carotid triangle from the external carotid artery, [1] [2] a little above the lingual artery, and sheltered by the ramus of the mandible.It passes obliquely up beneath the digastric and stylohyoid muscles, over which it arches to enter a groove on the posterior surface of the submandibular gland.
