Lymph from the sublingual salivary gland drains into the submandibular lymph nodes. (wikipedia.org)
Embedded in the superficial surface there are usually found several small rounded lymph glands, which can be recognised from the gland tissue by the difference in their colour. (co.ma)
there are also a few small parotid lymph glands, which lie on the surface of the superior and inferior part of the parotid beneath the capsule. (co.ma)
Mylohyoid2
Management of hemorrhage from a branch of the lingual or facial arteries may require an extraoral approach for ligation, because the mylohyoid, sublingual, and submental arteries can anastomose and be anatomically variable as well. (allenpress.com)
Emerges from the superficial part of the gland near the posterior border of mylohyoid. (oganatomy.org)
The sublingual caruncle is a small papilla near the midline of the floor of the mouth on each side of the lingual frenum. (wikipedia.org)
The path of the nerve is as follows: junction between pons and medulla, through internal acoustic meatus and facial canal to chorda tympani, through middle ear cavity, out petrotympanic fissure to join the lingual nerve, travels with lingual nerve to synapse at the submandibular ganglion, then postganglionic fibers travels to the sublingual gland.

The courses of the inferior alveolar, facial, and lingual arteries and their branches are reviewed. (allenpress.com)
This article discusses what procedures to perform to obtund bleeding from1 of these arteries and the technique of performing an emergency tracheotomy.INTRODUCTIONhree arteries that providethe major blood supply tothe mandible are importantfor dental implantology.These are the lingual, facial,and inferior alveolararteries.

Uncontrolledbleeding from the lingual artery,if left unchecked, may cause anexpanding ecchymosis that could compromisethe airway and/or blood volumeand may result in fatality.REVIEW OF THE ANATOMYLingual arteryThe lingual artery arises from the externalcarotid artery between the superiorthyroid and facial arteries (Figures1, 2, and 3).

Drains1
An intramuscular system of lymphatic vessels that parallels the deep arteries and drains the muscular compartment, joints, and synovium also exists. (oncolink.org)
clarification needed] The sublingual gland is constituted by 1 major duct and approximately 20 small excretory ducts, with the latter often being referred to as ducts of Rivinus. (wikipedia.org)
Most of the remaining small sublingual ducts (of Rivinus) open separate into the mouth on an elevated crest of mucous membrane, the plica sublingualis (aka sublingual fold), formed by the gland and located on either side of the frenulum linguae. (wikipedia.org)
These buds branch and form into cords that canalize to form the sublingual ducts associated with the gland. (wikipedia.org)
Parotid4
Located underneath the oral diaphragm (diaphragma oris), the sublingual gland is the smallest and most diffuse of the three major salivary glands of the oral cavity, with the other two being the submandibular and parotid. (wikipedia.org)
The parotid duct (O.T. Stenson's) leaves the anterior border of the gland at its most prominent part (Fig. 897). (co.ma)
It first runs forwards across the masseter, below the accessory parotid gland, and accompanied by branches of the facial nerve, and the transverse facial artery, which is commonly some distance above, though its relation is variable. (co.ma)
A number of vessels and nerves are found in intimate relation to the parotid gland. (co.ma)
Mandible1
It then enters the gland substance and lies deeply in it, as far up as to the neck of the mandible, when it divides into its two terminal branches. (co.ma)
Submandibular ganglion1
The chorda tympani nerve (from the facial nerve via the submandibular ganglion) is secretomotor and provides parasympathetic supply to the sublingual glands. (wikipedia.org)
Superficial1
The superficial temporal artery passes onwards and emerges from the superior superficial part of the gland, and the internal maxillary artery turns inwards and emerges from the deep part of the anterior surface. (co.ma)
Arise2
The first 2 arise directly fromthe external carotid, a major artery. (allenpress.com)
Which of the following arteries arise from the first part of the Subclavian artery (as it courses medial to the Scalenus Anterior muscle)? (docsbay.net)
Posterior faci1
The posterior facial vein descends in the substance of the gland superficially, and divides in it into the two terminal branches which emerge from the inferior part of the gland. (co.ma)
Great auricular nerves1
Communicating branches from the auriculo-temporal and great auricular nerves to the facial also traverse the gland substance. (co.ma)
Lateral3
They lie anterior and superior to the submandibular gland and inferior and lateral to the tongue, as well as beneath the mucous membrane of the floor of the mouth. (wikipedia.org)
They develop from epithelial buds in the sulcus surrounding the sublingual folds on the floor of the mouth, lateral to the developing submandibular gland. (wikipedia.org)
The lacrimal part forms a small slip originating adjacent to the lacrimal gland to insert on the lateral eyelid. (radiopaedia.org)
Branches1
The facial nerve enters the posterior surface of the gland, slightly below its middle, and runs forwards and laterally, dividing into its main branches within the gland, and lying superficial to the external carotid artery and posterior facial vein. (co.ma)
Nerve1
Atlantoaxial instability: C1 and C2 hypermobility causes cervical spine instability and artery, vein, and nerve compression. (caringmedical.com)
Consists1
The sublingual gland consists mostly of mucous acini capped with serous demilunes and is therefore categorized as a mixed mucous gland with a mucous product predominating. (wikipedia.org)
Spaces1
Ludwig angina is rapidly spreading cellulitis of the bilateral sublingual, submandibular, and submental spaces. (medscape.com)
Emerges1
The transverse facial artery is given off in the substance of the gland, and emerges from it between the zygomatic arch and the duct. (co.ma)
Structures1
Imaging showing the sublingual glands and surrounding structures. (wikipedia.org)
Cervical1
We will sit with the patient and their spouse or partner and then tell them that we believe many of their symptoms are coming from compression of their jugular vein, the compression is being caused by pressure from the cervical vertebrae or a problem with the styloid process at the base of the skull and possible carotid artery syndrome. (caringmedical.com)
Inferior1
This artery lies at first in a groove in the inferior and deep aspect of the gland. (co.ma)
Mouth1
Placing one index finger within the mouth and the fingertips of the opposite hand outside it, the compressed gland is manually palpated between the inner and outer fingers. (wikipedia.org)
Supply1
The gland receives its blood supply from the sublingual and submental arteries. (wikipedia.org)
Superior1
rarely will the lingualand superior thyroid arteries arisefrom a common stem. (allenpress.com)
