rhombomere in dogs

A segment of the developing hindbrain[ZFA]. In the vertebrate embryo, a rhombomere is a transiently divided segment of the developing neural tube, within the hindbrain region (a neuromere) in the area that will eventually become the rhombencephalon. The rhombomeres appear as a series of slightly constricted swellings in the neural tube, caudal to the cephalic flexure.[WP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the rhombomere is

A segment of the developing hindbrain[ZFA]. In the vertebrate embryo, a rhombomere is a transiently divided segment of the developing neural tube, within the hindbrain region (a neuromere) in the area that will eventually become the rhombencephalon. The rhombomeres appear as a series of slightly constricted swellings in the neural tube, caudal to the cephalic flexure.[WP]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the rhombomere is

It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the rhombomere connects to

The atlas records 36 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of embryo and future brain.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the rhombomere. 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.

Questions

Where is the rhombomere?

It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the rhombomere connect to?

Part of: embryo and future brain.

Is the rhombomere 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.
