iliac crest in dogs

Is part of the pelvis on the edge of the wing of the ilium. Round in shape, dorsal to the pubis and ischium. Acts as structrure that muscles can attach too. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the iliac crest is

Is part of the pelvis on the edge of the wing of the ilium. Round in shape, dorsal to the pubis and ischium. Acts as structrure that muscles can attach too. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the iliac crest is

It sits in the pelvis and trunk, within the skeletal system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the iliac crest connects to

The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. part of bone element, ilium and organ.

Supply and innervation

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

Is the iliac crest 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.
