intestinal epithelium in dogs

Epithelial layer that lines the intestine. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the intestinal epithelium is

Epithelial layer that lines the intestine. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the intestinal epithelium is

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

What the intestinal epithelium connects to

The atlas records 12 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of intestinal mucosa, intestine and mucosa.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the intestinal epithelium. 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 bowel epithelial tissue, bowel epithelium, epithelial tissue of bowel, epithelial tissue of intestine, epithelium of bowel and epithelium of intestine, and 3 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
