neural spine in dogs

An extension of a neural arches dorsal to the neural canal[TAO,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the neural spine is

An extension of a neural arches dorsal to the neural canal[TAO,modified]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the neural spine is

It sits within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the neural spine connects to

The atlas records 12 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of multicellular organism, neural arch and organ, and 2 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the neural spine. 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 spinous process, processus spinosus, processus spinosus vertebrae, spinous process of vertebra, vertebra spinous process and neural spine, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the neural spine?

It sits within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the neural spine connect to?

Part of: multicellular organism, neural arch, organ, skeletal element and vertebra.

Is the neural spine 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.
