What are the borders of the submandibular (suprahyoid) region?
anterior and posterior digastric bellies and the inferior border for the mandible
What forms the roof of the submandibular region?
superficial layer of the cervical fascia and platysma muscle
What are the main contents of the submandibular region?
- submandibular gland, duct, and ganglion
- lingual and hypoglossal nerves
- facial artery and vein
- lymph nodes
The submandibular gland is superficial to which muscle?
the mylohyoid muscles
What vein is directly superficial to the submandibular gland?
the facial vein
NOTE: the facial artery is directly deep to the gland
What does the submental artery branch from?
the facial artery
The mylohyoid nerve is a branch of which nerve?
the inferior alveolar nerve (branch of V3)
What does the mylohyoid nerve innervate?
the mylohyoid muscle and the anterior digastric belly
What is the posterior digastric belly innervated by?
the facial nerve
What is the stylohyoid muscle innervated by?
branches of the facial nerve
What is the origin of the mylohyoid m.?
the mylohyoid line of the mandible
T or F. The mylohyoid mm. have free inferior borders
T
What does the geniohyoid do?
draws the mandible and hyoid toward each other
What two muscles does the deep part of the submandibular gland sit between?
the mylohyoid and hyoglossus (thus, the duct is superficial to hyoglossus)
What muscles does the submandibular duct course superficial to during its course to the sublingual caruncle?
the hyoglossus and genioglossus m.
What does the lingual nerve convey?
general somatic sensory to the mucosa of the mouth and the anterior 2/3 of the tongue, taste fibers from the anterior 2/3rds of the tongue and parasympathetic fibers to the submandibular and sublingual glands
Courses from lateral, inferior, to medial to the submandibular duct
The submandibular ganglion is suspended inferiorly from which nerve?
the lingual n.
Does the lingual artery course deep or superficial to the hyoglossus?
deep
All of the muscles of facial expression are derived from which branchial arch?
2nd (all innervated by the facial nerve)
What muscle does the facial a. and v. ascend up the lateral face upon?
the buccinator (the buccinator has vertical fibers)
