olfactory system in dogs
A sensory system that is capable of olfaction (the sensory perception of smell). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the olfactory system is
A sensory system that is capable of olfaction (the sensory perception of smell). The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.
Where the olfactory system is
It sits within the sensory system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the olfactory system connects to
The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. a kind of sensory system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the olfactory 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.

Questions
Where is the olfactory system?
It sits within the sensory system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the olfactory system connect to?
A kind of: sensory system.
Is the olfactory 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.
