This aperture is overhung in front by a pointed scale of bone, the lingula mandibulæ, to the edges of which the spheno- mandibular ligament is attached. (co.ma)
8 Cranial and facial Bones Mandibular bone 1. (slideshare.net)
Convex1
Above the anterior part of the mylo-hyoid line the bone is smooth and usually convex. (co.ma)
Muscles1
To the upper pair of spines the genio-glossi muscles are attached, whilst the lower pair serve for the origin of the genio-hyoid muscles. (co.ma)
Symphysis1
The body displays in the median plane, in front, a faint vertical ridge, the symphysis, which indicates the line of fusion of the two symmetrical halves from which the bone is primarily developed. (co.ma)

Squamous2
The posterior most part of the greater wing projects as a triangular process, sitting within the angle of the junction between the squamous and petrous portions of the temporal bone . (radiopaedia.org)
It begins in the anterior wall of the tympanic cavity , below the septum canalis musculotubarius , and, gradually narrowing, ends at the angle of junction of the squamous and the petrous parts of the temporal bone , its extremity presenting a jagged margin which serves for the attachment of the cartilaginous part.

Temporal bone3
The lateral margin of the posterior border of greater wing articulates with the anterior border of petrous temporal bone . (radiopaedia.org)
The Eustachian tube has recently been redefined as the fibrocartilaginous structure connecting the air cell system of the temporal bone to the nose. (cloudfront.net)
What was thought of as the bony tube is really part of the air cell system of the temporal bone. (cloudfront.net)
Posterior1
Over the posterior scalp of the occipital bone and as high as the vertex . (radiopaedia.org)
Inferiorly1
Both wings also have a triangular process projecting inferiorly which is known as the spine of the sphenoid bone. (radiopaedia.org)
Cartilage1
The external acoustic meatus (external auditory canal) is formed by cartilage and bone (temporal). (medscape.com)
Junction1
The greater wing or ali-sphenoid of the sphenoid bone is a process which projects from either side of the lower part of the sphenoid body , at a common junction with the pterygoid process 1 . (radiopaedia.org)
Canal1
alveolar canal, which traverses the body of the bone. (co.ma)
Great1
The tip of the great wing articulates with the parietal bone at the pterion . (radiopaedia.org)
