mylohyoid

It supplies the surrounding muscles, and anastomoses with the sublingual artery and with the mylohyoid branch of the inferior alveolar; at the symphysis menti it turns upward over the border of the mandible and divides into a superficial and a deep branch.

VI. The Arteries. 3a. 2. The External Carotid Artery 1918

The mandibular canal, after the second dentition, is situated just above the level of the mylohyoid line; and the mental foramen occupies the position usual to it in the adult.

II. Osteology. 5b. 8. The Mandible (Lower Jaw) 1918

It arises from the whole length of the mylohyoid line of the mandible, extending from the symphysis in front to the last molar tooth behind.

IV. Myology. 5c. The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles 1918

As the inferior alveolar artery enters the foramen, it gives off a mylohyoid branch which runs in the mylohyoid groove, and ramifies on the under surface of the Mylohyoideus.

VI. The Arteries. 3a. 2. The External Carotid Artery 1918

—The Mylohyoideus and anterior belly of the Digastricus are supplied by the mylohyoid branch of the inferior alveolar; the Stylohyoideus and posterior belly of the Digastricus, by the facial; the Geniohyoideus, by the hypoglossal.

IV. Myology. 5c. The Supra- and Infrahyoid Muscles 1918

It arises from the lower third of the posterior margin of the medial pterygoid plate and its hamulus, from the pterygomandibular raphé, from the alveolar process of the mandible above the posterior end of the mylohyoid line, and by a few fibers from the side of the tongue.

XI. Splanchnology. 2c. The Pharynx 1918

The mylohyoid nerve (n. mylohyoideus) is derived from the inferior alveolar just before it enters the mandibular foramen.

IX. Neurology. 5e. The Trigeminal Nerve 1918

The pterygomandibular raphé (pterygomandibular ligament) is a tendinous band of the buccopharyngeal fascia, attached by one extremity to the hamulus of the medial pterygoid plate, and by the other to the posterior end of the mylohyoid line of the mandible.

IV. Myology. 4d. The Muscles of the Mouth 1918

The branches of the inferior alveolar nerve are the mylohyoid, dental, incisive, and mental.

IX. Neurology. 5e. The Trigeminal Nerve 1918

The anterior part contains the submaxillary gland, superficial to which is the anterior facial vein, while imbedded in the gland is the external maxillary artery and its glandular branches; beneath the gland, on the surface of the Mylohyoideus, are the submental artery and the mylohyoid artery and nerve.
