The submandibular lymph nodes (submaxillary glands in older texts) are lymph nodes beneath the body of the mandible in the submandibular triangle, and rest on the superficial surface of the submandibular gland.
One gland, the middle gland of Stahr, which lies on the facial artery as it turns over the mandible, is the most constant of the series; small lymph glands are sometimes found on the deep surface of the submandibular gland.
The afferents of the submandibular glands drain the medial canthus, the cheek, the side of the nose, the upper lip, the lateral part of the lower lip, the gums, and the anterior part of the margin of the tongue.
Efferent lymph vessels from the facial and submental lymph nodes also enter the submandibular glands. Their efferent vessels pass to the superior deep cervical lymph nodes.
Minimizing Cancer Risk: Understanding the Relationship Between Acrylamide, Advanced Glycation End Products, and Cooking Tips Tweet Follow @AZSPerformance In recent years, concerns about cancer risk associated with dietary choices have gained significant attention. Researchers have identified two substances, acrylamide and advanced glycation end products (AGEs), that are formed during certain cooking processes and have been linked to an increased risk of cancer. In this article, we will explore the connection between acrylamide, AGEs, and cancer, as well as provide practical tips to help you reduce your exposure to these potentially harmful compounds. Acrylamide and Cancer Risk: Acrylamide is a chemical compound that forms naturally during high-temperature cooking methods, such as frying, baking, and roasting. It is commonly found in foods like potato ...
