cuboid bone in dogs

A tarsal bone that is formed from distal tarsals 4 and 5. [WP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cuboid bone is

A tarsal bone that is formed from distal tarsals 4 and 5. [WP,modified]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the cuboid bone is

It sits in the hindlimb and hindpaw, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the cuboid bone connects to

The atlas records 18 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and appendage, and 11 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cuboid bone. 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 cuboid, cuboideum, distal tarsal bones 4 and 5, foot distal tarsal bone 4 and 5, os cuboideum and os tarsale IV et V. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the cuboid bone?

It sits in the hindlimb and hindpaw, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the cuboid bone connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, anatomical system, appendage, appendage girdle complex, appendicular skeleton and autopod region, and 8 more.

Is the cuboid bone 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.
