nerve in dogs
An enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system originating in a nerve root in the central nervous system (or a condensed nervous structure) connecting with peripheral structures. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the nerve is
An enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons in the peripheral nervous system originating in a nerve root in the central nervous system (or a condensed nervous structure) connecting with peripheral structures. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the nerve is
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the nerve connects to
The atlas records 34 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of nervous system, peripheral nervous system and subendocardium layer.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the nerve. 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
Also recorded as nerves, peripheral nerve and neural subtree. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the nerve?
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the nerve connect to?
Part of: nervous system, peripheral nervous system and subendocardium layer.
Is the nerve 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.
