brachial nerve plexus in dogs
An arrangement of nerve fibers, running from the spine where it proceeds through the neck then the axilla and into the arm where it innervates skin and muscle. [WP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the brachial nerve plexus is
An arrangement of nerve fibers, running from the spine where it proceeds through the neck then the axilla and into the arm where it innervates skin and muscle. [WP,modified]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the brachial nerve plexus is
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the brachial nerve plexus connects to
The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of nervous system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the brachial nerve plexus. 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.

Questions
