pharyngeal gland in dogs

Racemose mucous glands beneath the mucous membrane of the pharynx. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the pharyngeal gland is

Racemose mucous glands beneath the mucous membrane of the pharynx. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the pharyngeal gland is

It sits within the 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 gland connects to

The atlas records 7 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of chordate pharynx and respiratory system.

Supply and innervation

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