cerebrospinal fluid in dogs

A clear, colorless, bodily fluid, that occupies the subarachnoid space and the ventricular system around and inside the brain and spinal cord. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cerebrospinal fluid is

A clear, colorless, bodily fluid, that occupies the subarachnoid space and the ventricular system around and inside the brain and spinal cord. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the cerebrospinal fluid is

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What the cerebrospinal fluid connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of central canal of spinal cord.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cerebrospinal fluid. 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 CSF, cerebral spinal fluid, liquor cerebrospinalis and spinal fluid. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cerebrospinal fluid?

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What does the cerebrospinal fluid connect to?

Part of: central canal of spinal cord.

Is the cerebrospinal fluid 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.
