liver primordium in dogs

A small endodermal thickening in the foregut adjacent to the transverse septum. Invaginates forming the hepatic diverticulum. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the liver primordium is

A small endodermal thickening in the foregut adjacent to the transverse septum. Invaginates forming the hepatic diverticulum. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the liver primordium is

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

What the liver primordium connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, digestive tract and embryo.

Supply and innervation

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