The mylohyoid nerve (or nerve to mylohyoid) is a mixed nerve of the head. It is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve . It provides motor innervation the mylohyoid muscle , and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle .
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.
Accessory mylohyoid muscles have been seen in some people, which have the same attachments, nerve supply, and function. [6] The mylohyoid muscle may also be split into an anterior portion and a posterior portion, with the sublingual gland occupying the space between these portions. [7] An area of herniation of the sublingual gland, blood ...
The risk of nerve injury in relation to mandibular dental implants is not known but it is a recognised risk requiring the patient to be warned. [10] If an injury occurs urgent treatment is required. The risk nerve injury in relation deep dental injections has a risk of injury in approximately 1:14,000 with 25% of these remaining persistent.
Extensive scar tissue formation is a major cause of nerve entrapment, and for deep gluteal syndrome (entrapment of the sciatic nerve in the deep gluteal space), it's the most common cause. [11] While the concept of scar tissue causing traction injuries is widely accepted, [ 2 ] its role is more complex than strictly causing stretching injuries.
The tongue is a composite muscle made up of various components like longitudinal, transverse, horizontal muscles with different parts innervated having different nerve supply. Digastric muscle: Its anterior belly is supplied by mylohyoid nerve (a branch of trigeminal nerve). The posterior belly is supplied by the facial nerve.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the nervous system that can lead to muscle weakness, vision loss, and paralysis. It occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that ...
Neurogenic shock may be caused by severe brain injury. [6] However, in case of increased intracranial pressure , according to the Cushing triad , blood pressure will be increased (unless decreased from hypovolemia ), respirations will be irregular and bradycardia will also be a feature.
