leg in dogs

The portion of the hindlimb that contains both the stylopod and zeugopod. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the leg is

The portion of the hindlimb that contains both the stylopod and zeugopod. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the leg is

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

What the leg connects to

The atlas records 22 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of appendage and hindlimb.

Supply and innervation

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