NCIt definition : A lymph node located beneath the floor of the oral cavity.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: Lymph node(s) adjacent to the mandible.; UBERON: The submandibular lymph nodes (submaxillary glands in older texts), three
to six in number, are placed beneath the body of the mandible in the submaxillary
triangle, and rest on the superficial surface of the submaxillary salivary gland.
One gland, the middle gland of Stahr, which lies on the external maxillary 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 submaxillary salivary glands. The afferents
of the submaxillary glands drain the medial palpebral commissure, 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 vessels from the facial and submental glands
also enter the submaxillary glands. Their efferent vessels pass to the superior deep
cervical glands.;
