nervous system in dogs
The nervous system is an organ system containing predominantly neuron and glial cells. In bilaterally symmetrical organism, it is arranged in a network of tree-like structures connected to a central body. The main functions of the nervous system are to regulate and control body functions, and to receive sensory input, process this information, and generate behavior [CUMBO]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the nervous system is
The nervous system is an organ system containing predominantly neuron and glial cells. In bilaterally symmetrical organism, it is arranged in a network of tree-like structures connected to a central body. The main functions of the nervous system are to regulate and control body functions, and to receive sensory input, process this information, and generate behavior [CUMBO]. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the dog.
Where the nervous system is
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the nervous system connects to
The atlas records 198 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the nervous system. 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 neurological system, nerve net and systema nervosum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the nervous system?

What does the nervous system connect to?
A kind of: anatomical system.
Is the nervous system 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.
