it opens in the floor of the mouth , on the summit of the
sublingual papilla at the side of the frenulum of the tongue

The	Lingual	Nerve
Course in the submandibular region :
Ø Runs on the lateral surface of the hyoglossus deep to the

Ø Finally it passes between the genioglossus and the
sublingual gland. Here it hooks around the submandibular duct
and divides into branches.
Distribution :
u Carries general senation from the anterioir two-thirds of the
tongue and the floor of the mouth.
v The chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve which is
secretomotor (parasympathetic) to the submandibular and
sublingual salivary gland and gustatory to the anterior 2/3 of the
tongue is also distributed through

Submandibular	Ganglion
Site : lies on the hyoglossus muscle where it is suspended from
the lingual nerve by two roots.
Roots :
1. Sensory root : from the lingual nerve (passes without relay).
2. Sympathetic root : from the plexus around the facial artery
(passes without relay).
3. Parasympathetic (motor) root:
• The	preganglionic	fibers	arise	from	the	superior	salivary	
nucleus	in	the	pons	and	pass	successively	through	the	facial	
nerve	,	chorda	tympani	and	lingual	nerves	to	relay	in	the	
ganglion.	
• The	postganglionic	secretomotor fibers	supply	the	
submandibular	and	the	sublingual	glands.

Ø Posterior part : is related to the hyoglossus muscle from which it is separated by the following structures : 1- Stryloglossus muscle. 2- Lingual nerve and submandibular ganglion 3- Hypoglossal nerve 4- Suprahyoid artery. Lingual nerve Lingual artery Lingual vein Mylohyoid muscle Mohamed el fiky
  • 17. Hypoglossal nerve Lingual nerve Deep Part of Submandibular Gland Genioglossus Sublingual Gland Deep Part of The Submandibular Gland Extends forwards in the interval between the mylohyoid and the hyoglossus Relations: Laterally : mylohyoid muscle Medially : hyoglossus muscle Above : lingual nerve and submandibular ganglion Below : hypoglossal nerve. Submandibular duct: • Is about 5cm long • Emerges from the anterior end of the deep part of the gland • Runs forwards on the hyoglossus under cover of the mylohyoid • It then runs between the sublingual gland and the genioglossus muscle • where the lingual nerve crosses lateral and then hooks below it opens in the floor of the mouth , on the summit of the sublingual papilla at the side of the frenulum of the tongue Mohamed el fiky
  • 18. Nerve Supply of the Submandibular Gland Nerve supply: 1. Sensory supply : from the lingual nerve. 2. Sympathetic : from the sympathetic plexus around the facial artery 3. Parasympathetic (secretomotor): from the chorda tympani branch of facial along the lingual nerve Arterial supply: from the facial and lingual arteries Venous drainage : into the common facial or lingual veins Lymphatic drainage : into the submandibular lymph nodes Mohamed el fiky
  • 19. Floor of the Mouth Mylohyoid Muscle Deep Part of Submandibular Gland Genioglossus Ligual Nerve Submandibular Duct Sublingual Salivary Gland Site : located in the floor of the mouth between the mucous membrane and the Mylohyoid muscle occupying the sublingual fossa of the mandible. Shape : almond – shaped Size : is the smallest of the three main salivary glands , 3 to 4 gm in weight Relations : Superiorly : mucous membrane of the floor of the mouth which is raised by the gland to of form the sublingual fold . Inferiorly : mylohyoid muscle Medially : genioglossus muscle , lingual nerve and submandibular duct Laterally : sublingual fossa of the mandible Ducts : 8-20 ducts come out of the gland to open into the floor of the mouth on the summit of the sublingual fold. Arterial supply : sublingual and submental arteries Venous drainage : lingual and facial veins Lymphatic drainage : submental and submandibular lymph nodes Nerve supply supply: same as that of the submandibular gland Mohamed el fiky
  • 21. The Lingual Nerve Course in the submandibular region : Ø Runs on the lateral surface of the hyoglossus deep to the mylohyoid muscle. Ø Finally it passes between the genioglossus and the sublingual gland. Here it hooks around the submandibular duct and divides into branches. Distribution : u Carries general senation from the anterioir two-thirds of the tongue and the floor of the mouth. v The chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve which is secretomotor (parasympathetic) to the submandibular and sublingual salivary gland and gustatory to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue is also distributed through Chorda Tympani Inferior Alveolar nerve Lingual nerve Mohamed el fiky
  • 23. Submandibular Ganglion Submandibular Ganglion Site : lies on the hyoglossus muscle where it is suspended from the lingual nerve by two roots. Roots : 1. Sensory root : from the lingual nerve (passes without relay). 2. Sympathetic root : from the plexus around the facial artery (passes without relay). 3. Parasympathetic (motor) root: • The preganglionic fibers arise from the superior salivary nucleus in the pons and pass successively through the facial nerve , chorda tympani and lingual nerves to relay in the ganglion. • The postganglionic secretomotor fibers supply the submandibular and the sublingual glands.
