from ancient Greek: raphe - seam

Definition[Bearbeiten]
The raphe mylohyoidea is the connective tissue adhesion line ("raphe") of the right and left mylohyoid muscles in the median plane. It runs from the underside of the spina mentalis inferior of the mandible to the hyoid bone (os hyoideum).
Anatomy[Bearbeiten]
The mylohyoid raphe may sometimes be absent and instead the muscle fibres of the two mylohyoid muscles are interwoven.
