raphe nuclei in dogs

The raphe nuclei are thin plates of cells in and immediately adjacent to the sagittal plane. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the raphe nuclei is

The raphe nuclei are thin plates of cells in and immediately adjacent to the sagittal plane. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the raphe nuclei is

It sits 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 raphe nuclei connects to

The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, brain and nervous system, and 1 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the raphe nuclei. 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 nuclei raphes, raphe nuclei, raphe nuclei set, raphe cluster, raphe nucleus and raphe of mesenchephalon, and 1 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

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.
