pharyngeal arch artery in dogs

One of a series of paired embryological vascular structures formed within a pharyngeal arch; in the adult, some of these vessels give rise to the great vessels[MP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the pharyngeal arch artery is

One of a series of paired embryological vascular structures formed within a pharyngeal arch; in the adult, some of these vessels give rise to the great vessels[MP]. The atlas records it as a artery at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the pharyngeal arch artery is

It sits within the cardiovascular, respiratory 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 pharyngeal arch artery connects to

The atlas records 21 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of chordate pharynx, embryo and organ, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the pharyngeal arch artery. 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 PAA, aortic arch, aortic arches, branchial aortic arches, branchial arch artery and embryonic aortic arch artery, and 5 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
