bone tissue in dogs

Skeletal tissue with a collagen-rich extracellular matrix vascularized, mineralized with hydroxyapatite and typically including osteocytes located in lacunae that communicate with one another by cell processes (in canaliculi). Bone is deposited by osteoblasts. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the bone tissue is

Skeletal tissue with a collagen-rich extracellular matrix vascularized, mineralized with hydroxyapatite and typically including osteocytes located in lacunae that communicate with one another by cell processes (in canaliculi). Bone is deposited by osteoblasts. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the bone tissue is

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

What the bone tissue connects to

The atlas records 65 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of bone element.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the bone tissue. 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 calcium tissue, osseous tissue, osteogenic tissue, mineralized bone tissue, bone and portion of bone tissue. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the bone tissue?

Is the bone tissue 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.
