lumbar vertebra in dogs
Large vertebra of the movable part of the vertebral column, characterized by the absence of the foramen transversarium within the transverse process, and by the absence of facets on the sides of the body. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the lumbar vertebra is
Large vertebra of the movable part of the vertebral column, characterized by the absence of the foramen transversarium within the transverse process, and by the absence of facets on the sides of the body. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the lumbar vertebra is
It sits in the back and trunk, within the skeletal system. 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 lumbar vertebra connects to
The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of lumbar region of vertebral column.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the lumbar vertebra. 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.
