lingual artery in dogs
The lingual artery arises from the external carotid between the superior thyroid and facial artery[WP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the lingual artery is
The lingual artery arises from the external carotid between the superior thyroid and facial artery[WP]. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the lingual artery is
It sits within the cardiovascular, digestive and sensory systems. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What the lingual artery connects to
The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity and tongue.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the lingual artery. 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.
