otolith in dogs

Acellular structure composed of calcium carbonate located in the otolith organ. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the otolith is

Acellular structure composed of calcium carbonate located in the otolith organ. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the otolith is

It sits in the head, within the nervous and sensory systems. 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 otolith connects to

The atlas records 3 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of otolithic part of statoconial membrane.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the otolith. 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 otoconium, otoliths, statoconium, immature otolith, immature otoliths and otoconia, and 3 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the otolith?

It sits in the head, within the nervous and sensory systems. 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 otolith connect to?

Part of: otolithic part of statoconial membrane.

Is the otolith 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.
