cutaneous appendage in dogs

Anatomical projection that protrudes from the skin. Examples: hair, nail, feather, claw, hoof, horn, wattle, spur, beak, antler, bristle and some scales. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the cutaneous appendage is

Anatomical projection that protrudes from the skin. Examples: hair, nail, feather, claw, hoof, horn, wattle, spur, beak, antler, bristle and some scales. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the cutaneous appendage is

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

What the cutaneous appendage connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of integumental system, multicellular organism and organ.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the cutaneous appendage. 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.
