Mylohyoid Raphe

	Mylohyoid Raphe Mylohyoid can refer to: * Mylohyoid muscle * Mylohyoid line * Mylohyoid nerve * Mylohyoid branch of inferior alveolar artery * Mylohyoid groove In anatomy, the mandible, lower jaw or jawbone is the largest, strongest and lowest bone in the human facial skeleton. It forms the lower jaw and holds the lower teeth in place. The mandible sits beneath the maxilla. It is the only movable bone ... {{Disambig ...

	Mylohyoid Muscle The mylohyoid muscle or diaphragma oris is a paired muscle of the neck. It runs from the mandible to the hyoid bone, forming the floor of the oral cavity of the mouth. It is named after its two attachments near the molar teeth. It forms the floor of the submental triangle. It elevates the hyoid bone and the tongue, important during swallowing and speaking. Structure The mylohyoid muscle is flat and triangular, and is situated immediately superior to the anterior belly of the digastric muscle. It is a pharyngeal muscle (derived from the first pharyngeal arch) and classified as one of the suprahyoid muscles. Together, the paired mylohyoid muscles form a muscular floor for the oral cavity of the mouth. 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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Mylohyoid Line The mylohyoid line is a bony ridge on the internal surface of the mandible. It runs posterosuperiorly. It is the site of origin of the mylohyoid muscle, the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, and the pterygomandibular raphe. Structure 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. Rarely, the mylohyoid muscle may originate partially from other surfaces of the mandible. The posterior (back) part of this line, near the alveolar margin, gives attachment to a small part of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, and to the pterygomandibular raphe. Function The mylohyoid line is the site of attachment of many muscles, including the mylohyoid muscle, and the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle. It is also the ...

	Mylohyoid Nerve The mylohyoid nerve (or nerve to mylohyoid) is a nerve of the head. It is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve. It supplies the mylohyoid muscle, and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle. It may also supply mandibular (lower) molar teeth, requiring local anaesthesia for some oral procedures. Structure The mylohyoid nerve is a branch of the inferior alveolar nerve, a branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V3), itself a branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V). It contains both motor neurons and sensory neurons. It branches just before it enters the mandibular foramen . It descends in a groove on the deep surface of the ramus of the mandible. When it reaches the under surface of the mylohyoid muscle, it gives branches to both the mylohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle. Function The mylohyoid nerve supplies the mylohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of the digastric muscle. It may also give some sensory supply to the mandibular (lower) molar teeth ...

	Mylohyoid Branch Of Inferior Alveolar Artery The inferior alveolar artery (inferior dental artery) is an artery of the face. It is a branch of the first portion of the maxillary artery. Structure It descends with the inferior alveolar nerve to the mandibular foramen on the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible. It runs along the mandibular canal in the substance of the bone, accompanied by the nerve, and opposite the first premolar tooth divides into two branches, incisor and mental. Incisor branch The ''incisor branch'' is continued forward beneath the incisor teeth as far as the middle line, where it anastomoses with the artery of the opposite side The inferior alveolar artery and its incisor branch during their course through the substance of the bone give off a few twigs which are lost in the cancellous tissue, and a series of branches which correspond in number to the roots of the teeth: these enter the minute apertures at the extremities of the roots, and supply the pulp of the teeth. Mental branch The ''me ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
