premaxilla in dogs

One of the bones of the upper jaw situated between and in front of the maxillae[VHOG]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the premaxilla is

One of the bones of the upper jaw situated between and in front of the maxillae[VHOG]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the premaxilla is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal 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 premaxilla connects to

The atlas records 28 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and facial skeleton, and 4 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the premaxilla. 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 premaxillae, premaxillary, incisive bone, os incisivum, premaxilla bone and premaxillary bone. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the premaxilla 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.
