pulmonary nerve plexus in dogs

The pulmonary plexus is an autonomic plexus formed from pulmonary branches of vagus nerve and the sympathetic trunk that supplies the Bronchial tree. [WP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the pulmonary nerve plexus is

The pulmonary plexus is an autonomic plexus formed from pulmonary branches of vagus nerve and the sympathetic trunk that supplies the Bronchial tree. [WP,modified]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the pulmonary nerve plexus is

It sits in the head, within the nervous system. 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 pulmonary nerve plexus connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of nervous system and vagus nerve.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the pulmonary nerve plexus. 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 plexus pulmonalis and pulmonary plexus. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
