perichondrium in dogs

Fibrous connective tissue that surrounds cartilage. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the perichondrium is

Fibrous connective tissue that surrounds cartilage. The atlas records it as a tissue at the tissue scale in the dog.

Where the perichondrium is

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the perichondrium connects to

The atlas records 3 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of cartilage element.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the perichondrium. 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 cartilage connective tissue, perichondral region of cartilage and perichondral region of cartilage element. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

What does the perichondrium connect to?

Part of: cartilage element.

Is the perichondrium 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.
