appendicular skeleton in dogs

Subdivision of skeleton which which consists of all the skeletal elements in in the pectoral and pelvic appendage complexes[cjm]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the appendicular skeleton is

Subdivision of skeleton which which consists of all the skeletal elements in in the pectoral and pelvic appendage complexes[cjm]. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the dog.

Where the appendicular skeleton is

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the appendicular skeleton connects to

The atlas records 124 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of anatomical system, skeletal system and skeleton.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the appendicular skeleton. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as appendicular skeleton, entire appendicular skeleton, paired fin skeleton and skeleton appendiculare. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the appendicular skeleton?

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the appendicular skeleton connect to?

Part of: anatomical system, skeletal system and skeleton.

Is the appendicular skeleton the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
