The sublingual artery is a small blood vessel that branches off from the lingual artery, which supplies blood to the tongue and floor of the mouth. It primarily provides oxygenated blood to the sublingual gland and surrounding tissues, playing a crucial role in oral health and function. This artery runs beneath the tongue, making it important for various oral procedures. Its location is significant for dental professionals, as it can be affected during surgeries or treatments in the mouth. Understanding the anatomy of the sublingual artery helps ensure safe and effective medical interventions in the oral cavity.
