Anvil Ligament Upper

The superior incus ligament or lateral ligament of the epiglottis is a lingual process of the posterior border of the rough surface of the epiglottis, covered with longitudinal grooves. It passes posterior to the mastoid process of the sphenoid bone and lies above and posterior to the lingual surface of the sphenoid temporal fissure. In its length and direction, the upper ligament is slightly shorter than the lower one and is located closer to the tip of the tongue. The width of the upper ligament is smaller and lower than the lower one. The superior ligament diverges widely laterally. Both ligaments play the role of phonetic and energy vibrators in the implementation of articulate sound during the speech process. For example, when pronouncing certain sounds of the language, vibration occurs with the active participation of the incus and ligamentous apparatus. Also, the superior ligament is involved in the raising and lowering of the supraglottic ball during swallowing in children. Acting as a means of articulation, this ball ensures articulate pronunciation



The ligament of the superior incus (l. Incudis Superius) is one of the most important structures in the human body. It is located on the front wall of the frontal bone and provides stability and coordination of head movements. In this article, we will look at the function, anatomy, and possible problems with the superior incus ligament.

Functions of the superior incus ligament The superior incus, or proximal portion of the frontal lobe, consists of an anterior superior surface and a posterior superior surface. The first is very strong and is used to support the incus ligament. The posterior superior surface allows connection with the superior wall of the skull through the roof of the sphenoid bone. The superior incus ligament plays an important role in supporting the head joints and stabilizing the head. It is also responsible for stabilizing the head during locomotion, turning, and other movements. If it is damaged or torn, it can lead to poor coordination and headaches. In addition, it is also involved in controlling the movement of the eyeballs. In addition, the superior invarian ligament has connections with many other structures of the cranium, including the maxilla, frontal bone, middle cranial fossa, and the ventral part of the middle medullary hernia. This allows it to provide effective communication between these components and perform their mutual functions. **Good to know:** Although the anatomy of the upper anvil has many similarities with other animal species, there is no evidence that it is directly inherited. However, research shows that the superior anvils are capable of producing more precise and efficient movements in monkeys, which have a special anatomy.



Definition: The Incus Superior ligament is a component of the upper portion of the ear canal, including the eardrum and the ossified area that connects the tympanic bone to the skull. It is one of the most important elements of the middle ear and the inner part of the outer ear, as it provides sound conduction and protection against infections and foreign bodies.

Functions of the Superior Incus Ligament:

- Sound-conducting - the incus ligament acts as part of the middle and inner ear, connecting the bony labyrinth with neighboring areas. This is what contributes to the transmission of sound
