La glande submandibulaire (anciennement glande sous-maxillaire) est la deuxième plus grosse glande [salivaire] principale, pesant de 7 à 16 g, située dans le triangle submandibulaire dans la région supra-hyoïdienne latérale. Les limites de ce triangle sont constituées par le bord inférieur de la mandibule en haut, le ventre antérieur et le ventre postérieur du muscle digastrique en bas, réunis par le tendon intermédiaire inséré à la petite corne de l'os hyoïde en dessous du tendon du muscle stylohyoïdien. 1, record 2, French, - glande%20submandibulaire

Au cours de la dissection de la région submandibulaire, un muscle mylo-hyoïdien accessoire gauche a été trouvé chez un homme de 40 ans. Ce muscle était situé entre le ventre antérieur du m. digastrique gauche et le m. mylo-hyoïdien gauche. Il naissait de la ligne mylo-hyoïdienne gauche de la mandibule et s'insérait sur la partie inférieure du raphé mylo-hyoïdien et sur l'os hyoïde. Le muscle mylo-hyoïdien accessoire unilatéral est une anomalie rare, qui nous le pensons, peut participer à la fonction du plancher oral. 1, record 3, French, - submandibulaire
