The deep lingual vein is one of the lingual veins.It commences near the apex of the tongue.It passes posterior-ward close to the inferior surface of the tongue. It terminates near the anterior border of the hyoglossus muscle by uniting with the sublingual vein to form the vena comitans of the hypoglossal nerve (ranine vein [1]); this vein then passes posterior-ward alongside the nerve to empty ...
The deep lingual artery (or ranine artery) is the terminal portion of the lingual artery after the sublingual artery is given off.As seen in the picture, it travels superiorly in a tortuous course along the under (ventral) surface of the tongue, below the longitudinalis inferior, and above the mucous membrane.
The lingual veins are multiple veins of the tongue with two distinct courses: one group drains into the lingual artery; another group drains either into the lingual artery, (common) facial vein, or internal jugular vein.
The lingual vein passes medial to the hyoglossus. The lingual artery passes deep to the hyoglossus. Laterally, in between the hyoglossus muscle and the mylohyoid muscle, lay several important structures (from upper to lower): sublingual gland , submandibular duct , lingual nerve , vena comitans of hypoglossal nerve, and the hypoglossal nerve .
The dorsal lingual veins are some of the lingual veins.They provide venous drainage to the dorsum of the tongue, and the sides of the tongue. Between the hyoglossus and genioglossus, dorsal lingual veins unite with those lingual veins that are venae comitantes of the lingual artery; these consolidated lingual veins then empty into the internal jugular vein proximal to the greater cornu of ...
The pharyngeal veins commence in the pharyngeal plexus superficial to the pharynx. The pharyngeal veins receive as tributaries meningeal vein, and the vein of the pterygoid canal. The pharyngeal veins typically empty into the internal jugular vein (but may occasionally instead empty into the facial vein, lingual vein, or superior thyroid vein). [1]
a number of blood vessels and nerves, e.g. the lingual artery and nerve, the hypoglossal nerve and the glossopharyngeal nerve. the sublingual salivary gland. Saliva from the sublingual gland drains through several small excretory ducts in the floor of the mouth. Sometimes a more distinctive duct can be recognized, known as Bartholin's duct.
