central nervous system in dogs
The central nervous system is the core nervous system that serves an integrating and coordinating function. In vertebrates it consists of the neural tube derivatives: the brain and spinal cord. In invertebrates it includes central ganglia plus nerve cord. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the central nervous system is
The central nervous system is the core nervous system that serves an integrating and coordinating function. In vertebrates it consists of the neural tube derivatives: the brain and spinal cord. In invertebrates it includes central ganglia plus nerve cord. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the dog.
Where the central nervous system is
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the central nervous system connects to
The atlas records 95 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of anatomical system and nervous system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the central nervous system. 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 CNS, systema nervosum centrale, cerebrospinal axis and neuraxis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the central nervous system?
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the central nervous system connect to?
Part of: anatomical system and nervous system.
Is the central nervous system 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.
