bony vertebral centrum in dogs

Ossified form of a vertebral centrum, a skeletal element that functionally replaces the notochord[VSAP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the bony vertebral centrum is

Ossified form of a vertebral centrum, a skeletal element that functionally replaces the notochord[VSAP,modified]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the bony vertebral centrum is

It sits within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the bony vertebral centrum connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of vertebra.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the bony vertebral centrum. 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.
