blood vessel in dogs

A vessel through which blood circulates in the body. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the blood vessel is

A vessel through which blood circulates in the body. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the blood vessel is

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

What the blood vessel connects to

The atlas records 39 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of cardiovascular system and intestinal villus.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the blood vessel. 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 vascular element, region of vascular tree organ, vascular tree organ region and vas sanguineum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the blood vessel?

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

What does the blood vessel connect to?

Part of: cardiovascular system and intestinal villus.

Is the blood vessel 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.
