Reed Branch Superior

Ligular branch Superior

The superior lingual branch, or lingual process, is one of the three components of the facial part of the skull, which has a triangular shape and is formed from the upper jaw. It is a small piece of bone that is attached to the muscles of the tongue as it moves. For the proper functioning of the language, the normal development of this branch is necessary.

The anatomy of the superior lingual branch is quite simple. It begins in the region of the posterior edge of the condyle of the greater palate, runs along the vomer and ends at the end of the lower jaw. It usually connects to the upper surface of the root of the tongue and is directly connected to surrounding structures such as the palate, tongue, teeth, and tongue ligaments. The superior lingual ramus is also called the "lingual process" or "strong ligament" because of its role in forming the upper part of the skull. It is actively involved in the development of the upper jaw, especially at a young age, and is important for ensuring normal nasal function, global
