palatine bone in dogs

A paired dermal bone situated in the mid-palate that helps form the hard palate [Palaeos]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the palatine bone is

A paired dermal bone situated in the mid-palate that helps form the hard palate [Palaeos]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the palatine bone is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal and digestive 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 palatine bone connects to

The atlas records 20 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, anatomical structure and anatomical system, and 6 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the palatine bone. 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 palatine, dermopalatine, os palatinum, palate bone and palatum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the palatine bone 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.
