Mylohyoid line

Oblique ridge on the medial mandibular body. Gives origin to mylohyoid. Separates sublingual fossa above from submandibular fossa below posteriorly.

Zoom in, then drag to inspect. Keyboard: + / − to zoom, arrows to pan, 0 to reset. Tap the numbered markers to explore parts.

STRUCTURE & FUNCTION

Understand what you see.

Oblique ridge on the medial mandibular body.

Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. Oblique ridge on the medial mandibular body
  2. Gives origin to mylohyoid
  3. Separates sublingual fossa above from submandibular fossa below posteriorly
02 / KEY STRUCTURES

Point them out.

Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.

03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

Examiner-style prompts: identify the structure, explain its relations, then answer the applied follow-up. These are revision questions, not authenticated past papers.

01Identify mylohyoid line and justify your identification.
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Oblique ridge on the medial mandibular body. Gives origin to mylohyoid. Separates sublingual fossa above from submandibular fossa below posteriorly.

02Which muscle arises here?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

Mylohyoid, which helps form the muscular floor of the mouth.

03Which nerve supplies mylohyoid?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

The nerve to mylohyoid, from the inferior alveolar nerve (V3).
