lingual artery การใช้

The lingual artery is a good place to stop severe hemorrage from the tongue.
The lingual vein passes medial to the hyoglossus, and the lingual artery passes deep to the hyoglossus.
The vascular supply to the laryngopharynx includes the superior thyroid artery, the lingual artery and the ascending pharyngeal artery.
However, as seen in the picture, the deep lingual artery passes inferior to the hyoglossus ( the cut muscle on the bottom ) while the lingual nerve ( not pictured ) passes superior to it ( for a comparison, the hypoglossal nerve, pictured, passes superior to the hyoglossus ).
It then curves downward and forward, forming a loop which is crossed by the hypoglossal nerve, and passing beneath the Digastricus and Stylohyoideus it runs horizontally forward, beneath the Hyoglossus, and finally, ascending almost perpendicularly to the tongue, turns forward on its lower surface as far as the tip, under the name of the deep lingual artery ( profunda linguae ).
