Mental spine
The mental spine is a small projection of bone on the posterior aspect of the mandible (jaw bone) in the midline. It is also known as the genial tubercle[1], genial apophysis and the Latin name spinae mentalis. The mental spine is the point of insertion of the geniohyoid muscle[2], one of the suprahyoid muscles and the origin of the genioglossus muscle, one of the muscles of the tongue.
