neural arch in dogs

Posterior part of a vertebra that consists of a pair of pedicles and a pair of laminae, and supports seven processes: four articular processes, two transverse processes one spinous process[WP]. ZFA: A neural arch encloses the neural canal and typically meets its partner to form a neural spine. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the neural arch is

Posterior part of a vertebra that consists of a pair of pedicles and a pair of laminae, and supports seven processes: four articular processes, two transverse processes one spinous process[WP]. ZFA: A neural arch encloses the neural canal and typically meets its partner to form a neural spine. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the neural arch is

It sits within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What the neural arch connects to

The atlas records 10 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. a kind of arch of centrum of vertebra and endochondral bone.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the neural arch. 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 vertebra neural arch, arcus vertebra, arcus vertebrae, arcus vertebrae (vertebralis), dorsal arcocentrum and vertebra dorsal arch. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the neural arch?

It sits within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.

What does the neural arch connect to?

A kind of: arch of centrum of vertebra and endochondral bone.

Is the neural arch 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.
