fibula in dogs
The major postaxial endochondral bone in the posterior zeugopod[Phenoscape]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the fibula is
The major postaxial endochondral bone in the posterior zeugopod[Phenoscape]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the fibula is
It sits in the hindlimb, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What the fibula connects to
The atlas records 29 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and appendage, and 9 more.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the fibula. 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.

Questions
Where is the fibula?
It sits in the hindlimb, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What does the fibula connect to?
Part of: anatomical structure, anatomical system, appendage, appendage girdle complex, appendicular skeleton and hindlimb, and 6 more.
Is the fibula 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.
