dorsum in dogs

A major subdivision of an organism that is the entire part of the organism dorsal to a horizontal plane and bounded on one side by the same transverse plane. In vertebrares this includes the vertebral column.. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the dorsum is

A major subdivision of an organism that is the entire part of the organism dorsal to a horizontal plane and bounded on one side by the same transverse plane. In vertebrares this includes the vertebral column.. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the dorsum is

It sits in the back. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the dorsum connects to

The atlas records 23 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. a kind of organism subdivision.

Supply and innervation

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