The parotid gland is described as wrapping around which anatomical structure?

Each parotid gland is wrapped around the mandibular ramus. It occupies the retromandibular fossa and extends anteriorly to cover the posterior surface of the masseter muscle. The parotid gland is divided into superficial and deep lobes by the facial nerve (CN VII) as it passes through the gland, but the gland itself wraps around the mandibular ramus. The facial nerve passes through the parotid gland but does not wrap around it; rather, it divides within the gland.
