pancreas in dogs
An endoderm derived structure that produces precursors of digestive enzymes and blood glucose regulating hormones[GO]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the pancreas is
An endoderm derived structure that produces precursors of digestive enzymes and blood glucose regulating hormones[GO]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the pancreas is
It sits in the trunk. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What the pancreas connects to
The atlas records 22 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. a kind of viscus.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the pancreas. 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.
