chordate pharynx in dogs

A portion of the respiratory and digestive tracts; its distal limit is the superior part of the esophagus and it connects the nasal and oral cavities with the esophagus and larynx; it contains the valleculae and the pyriform recesses; its upper limits are the nasal cavity and cranial base.[FEED]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the chordate pharynx is

A portion of the respiratory and digestive tracts; its distal limit is the superior part of the esophagus and it connects the nasal and oral cavities with the esophagus and larynx; it contains the valleculae and the pyriform recesses; its upper limits are the nasal cavity and cranial base.[FEED]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the chordate pharynx is

It sits within the respiratory and digestive systems. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the chordate pharynx connects to

The atlas records 23 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of respiratory system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the chordate pharynx. 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.
