MEDIVEERSETHE PRACTICAL HUB
Paired muscular sheets form much of the mouth floor. Arise from mandibular mylohyoid lines. Meet in a midline raphe and attach posteriorly to hyoid.
Zoom in, then drag to inspect. Keyboard: + / − to zoom, arrows to pan, 0 to reset. Tap the numbered markers to explore parts.

Mylohyoid muscle
Understand what you see.
Paired muscular sheets form much of the mouth floor.
Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.
How to recognise it.
- Paired muscular sheets form much of the mouth floor
- Arise from mandibular mylohyoid lines
- Meet in a midline raphe and attach posteriorly to hyoid
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.
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 muscle and justify your identification.+
Paired muscular sheets form much of the mouth floor. Arise from mandibular mylohyoid lines. Meet in a midline raphe and attach posteriorly to hyoid.
02What is its nerve supply?+
Nerve to mylohyoid from the inferior alveolar nerve (V3).
03How is it related to the submandibular gland?+
The gland's superficial and deep parts are continuous around the posterior free border of mylohyoid.
