Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sublingual space, located beneath the tongue, contains several important structures. The submandibular duct (A) is indeed found in this space as it travels to the sublingual papilla next to the lingual frenulum. The lingual nerve and lingual artery (D) are also present in the sublingual space, providing sensory innervation and blood supply to the tongue, respectively. The other options listed do not reside within the sublingual space: the facial artery and hypoglossal nerve (B) are not located here; the submental lymph nodes (C) are found in the submental triangle, not the sublingual space; and the buccal space (E) is a separate fascial space in the cheek.
