musculature in dogs

A subdivision of the muscular system corresponding to a subdisivision of an organism. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the musculature is

A subdivision of the muscular system corresponding to a subdisivision of an organism. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the dog.

Where the musculature is

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

What the musculature connects to

The atlas records 41 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of anatomical system and musculature of body.

Supply and innervation

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

Questions

Where is the musculature?

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

What does the musculature connect to?

Part of: anatomical system and musculature of body.

Is the musculature the same in other species?

This page describes the dog. The human record of the same structure sits beside it on /compare, over one shared model rather than two atlases built separately.
