Which structure wraps around the parotid gland?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Mandibular ramus
- A. Correct (keyed). The parotid drapes around the posterior border of the mandibular ramus (its deep lobe passes medial to the ramus).
- B. The stylohyoid ligament is not the wrapping structure.
- C. The masseter lies superficial/lateral; the gland overlaps it but the ramus is what it wraps around.
- D. The zygomatic arch is the superior bony limit, not a wrapping structure.
