naris in dogs

Orifice of the olfactory system. The naris is the route by which odorants enter the olfactory system[MAH]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the naris is

Orifice of the olfactory system. The naris is the route by which odorants enter the olfactory system[MAH]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the naris is

It sits in the head, within the sensory system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the naris connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of head, olfactory system and pair of nares.

Supply and innervation

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