phalanx in dogs

Endochondral bones that are often elongate and arranged in rows of articulating elements, and form the visible part of the digits. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the phalanx is

Endochondral bones that are often elongate and arranged in rows of articulating elements, and form the visible part of the digits. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the phalanx is

It sits within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the phalanx connects to

The atlas records 24 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and appendage, and 9 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the phalanx. 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.
