Anatomical terms of muscle

Anatomical terminology is used to uniquely describe aspects of skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle such as their actions, structure, size, and location.

See Digastric muscle and Anatomical terms of muscle

Anterior triangle of the neck

The anterior triangle is a region of the neck. Digastric muscle and anterior triangle of the neck are Human head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Anterior triangle of the neck

Carotid triangle

The carotid triangle (or superior carotid triangle) is a portion of the anterior triangle of the neck. Digastric muscle and carotid triangle are Human head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Carotid triangle

Digastric branch of facial nerve

The digastric branch of facial nerve provides motor innervation to the posterior belly of the digastric muscle. It branches from the facial nerve (CN VII) near to the stylomastoid foramen as the CN VII exits the facial canal (it thus branches proximal to the parotid plexus of facial nerve).

See Digastric muscle and Digastric branch of facial nerve

Embryology

Embryology (from Greek ἔμβρυον, embryon, "the unborn, embryo"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of animal biology that studies the prenatal development of gametes (sex cells), fertilization, and development of embryos and fetuses.

See Digastric muscle and Embryology

Facial artery

The facial artery (external maxillary artery in older texts) is a branch of the external carotid artery that supplies structures of the superficial face. Digastric muscle and facial artery are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Facial artery

Facial nerve

The facial nerve, also known as the seventh cranial nerve, cranial nerve VII, or simply CN VII, is a cranial nerve that emerges from the pons of the brainstem, controls the muscles of facial expression, and functions in the conveyance of taste sensations from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. Digastric muscle and facial nerve are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Facial nerve

Hyoid bone

The hyoid bone (lingual bone or tongue-bone) is a horseshoe-shaped bone situated in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. Digastric muscle and hyoid bone are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Hyoid bone

Inferior alveolar nerve

The inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) (also the inferior dental nerve) is a sensory branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V3) (which is itself the third branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V)).

See Digastric muscle and Inferior alveolar nerve

Infrahyoid muscles

The infrahyoid muscles, or strap muscles, are a group of four pairs of muscles in the anterior (frontal) part of the neck. Digastric muscle and infrahyoid muscles are muscles of the head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Infrahyoid muscles

Jaw

The jaws are a pair of opposable articulated structures at the entrance of the mouth, typically used for grasping and manipulating food. Digastric muscle and jaw are Human head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Jaw

Mandible

In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin mandibula, 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lowerand typically more mobilecomponent of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla).

See Digastric muscle and Mandible

Mandibular nerve

In neuroanatomy, the mandibular nerve (V) is the largest of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve, the fifth cranial nerve (CN V). Digastric muscle and mandibular nerve are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Mandibular nerve

Masseter muscle

In anatomy, the masseter is one of the muscles of mastication. Digastric muscle and masseter muscle are muscles of the head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Masseter muscle

Mastoid part of the temporal bone

The mastoid part of the temporal bone is the posterior (back) part of the temporal bone, one of the bones of the skull. Digastric muscle and mastoid part of the temporal bone are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Mastoid part of the temporal bone

Muscular triangle

The inferior carotid triangle (or muscular triangle), is bounded, in front, by the median line of the neck from the hyoid bone to the sternum; behind, by the anterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid; above, by the superior belly of the omohyoid. Digastric muscle and muscular triangle are Human head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Muscular triangle

Mylohyoid muscle

The mylohyoid muscle or diaphragma oris is a paired muscle of the neck. Digastric muscle and mylohyoid muscle are muscles of the head and neck and suprahyoid muscles.

See Digastric muscle and Mylohyoid muscle

Mylohyoid nerve

The mylohyoid nerve (or nerve to mylohyoid) is a mixed nerve of the head.

See Digastric muscle and Mylohyoid nerve

Occipital artery

The occipital artery is a branch of the external carotid artery that provides arterial supply to the back of the scalp, sternocleidomastoid muscles, and deep muscles of the back and neck. Digastric muscle and occipital artery are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Occipital artery

Orangutan

Orangutans are great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia.

See Digastric muscle and Orangutan

Stylohyoid muscle

The stylohyoid muscle is one of the suprahyoid muscles. Digastric muscle and stylohyoid muscle are muscles of the head and neck, Otorhinolaryngology and suprahyoid muscles.

See Digastric muscle and Stylohyoid muscle

Submandibular triangle

The submandibular triangle (or submaxillary or digastric triangle) corresponds to the region of the neck immediately beneath the body of the mandible. Digastric muscle and submandibular triangle are Human head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Submandibular triangle

Submental triangle

The submental triangle (or suprahyoid triangle) is a division of the anterior triangle of the neck. Digastric muscle and submental triangle are Human head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Submental triangle

Suprahyoid muscles

The suprahyoid muscles are four muscles located above the hyoid bone in the neck. Digastric muscle and suprahyoid muscles are muscles of the head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Suprahyoid muscles

Synovial sheath

A synovial sheath is one of the two membranes of a tendon sheath which covers a tendon.

See Digastric muscle and Synovial sheath

Temporal bone

The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex. Digastric muscle and temporal bone are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Temporal bone

Temporal styloid process

The temporal styloid process is a slender bony process of the temporal bone extending downward and forward from the undersurface of the temporal bone just below the ear. Digastric muscle and temporal styloid process are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Digastric muscle and Temporal styloid process

Temporalis muscle

In anatomy, the temporalis muscle, also known as the temporal muscle, is one of the muscles of mastication (chewing). Digastric muscle and temporalis muscle are muscles of the head and neck.

See Digastric muscle and Temporalis muscle

Tendon

A tendon or sinew is a tough band of dense fibrous connective tissue that connects muscle to bone.

See Digastric muscle and Tendon

Trigeminal nerve

In neuroanatomy, the trigeminal nerve (lit. triplet nerve), also known as the fifth cranial nerve, cranial nerve V, or simply CN V, is a cranial nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing; it is the most complex of the cranial nerves. Digastric muscle and trigeminal nerve are Human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.
