The deep lingual artery (or ranine artery) is the terminal portion of the lingual artery after the sublingual artery is given off. As seen in the picture, it travels superiorly in a tortuous course along the under (ventral) surface of the tongue , below the longitudinalis inferior , and above the mucous membrane .
The lingual vein passes medial to the hyoglossus. The lingual artery passes deep to the 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.

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.

Sublingual caruncles highlighted on either side of the lingual frenulum. Each submandibular gland is divided into a superficial lobe and a deep lobe, the two being separated by the mylohyoid muscle: [3] The superficial lobe comprises most of the gland, with the mylohyoid muscle runs under it; The deep lobe is the smaller part
