radial nerve in dogs

A nerve that supplies the upper limb, including the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm, as well as the associated joints and overlying skin. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the radial nerve is

A nerve that supplies the upper limb, including the triceps brachii muscle of the arm, as well as all 12 muscles in the posterior osteofascial compartment of the forearm, as well as the associated joints and overlying skin. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the radial nerve is

It sits in the forelimb, within the nervous system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the radial nerve connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of arm and brachial nerve plexus.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the radial nerve. 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 nervus radialis. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the radial nerve?

Is the radial nerve 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.
