renal system in dogs
The renal system in an anatomical system that maintains fluid balance and contributes to electrolyte balance, acid/base balance, and disposal of nitrogenous waste products. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the renal system is
The renal system in an anatomical system that maintains fluid balance and contributes to electrolyte balance, acid/base balance, and disposal of nitrogenous waste products. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the dog.
Where the renal system is
It sits within the urinary system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the renal system connects to
The atlas records 35 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of genitourinary system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the renal system. 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.
