Bone: Mylohyoid line

Mandible. Inner surface. Side view.
Latin	linea mylohyoidea mandibulae
Gray's	subject #44 173

Extending upward and backward on either side from the lower part of the symphysis of the Mandible is the mylohyoid line, which is the origin of the mylohyoid muscle; the posterior part of this line, near the alveolar margin, gives attachment to a small part of the Constrictor pharyngis superior, and to the pterygomandibular raphé.
