calcareous tooth in dogs

Skeletal element within the mouth (or in some species, upper part of the digestive tract) that is composed of dentine and is used in procuring or masticating food. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the calcareous tooth is

Skeletal element within the mouth (or in some species, upper part of the digestive tract) that is composed of dentine and is used in procuring or masticating food. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the calcareous tooth is

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

What the calcareous tooth connects to

The atlas records 21 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure and skeletal element.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the calcareous tooth. 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.
