rhombomere 6 in dogs
The sixth transiently divided segment of the developing rhombencephalon; rhombomeres are lineage restricted, express different genes from one another, and adopt different developmental fates; rhombomeres are numbered in caudal to rostral order. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the rhombomere 6 is
The sixth transiently divided segment of the developing rhombencephalon; rhombomeres are lineage restricted, express different genes from one another, and adopt different developmental fates; rhombomeres are numbered in caudal to rostral order. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the rhombomere 6 is
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the rhombomere 6 connects to
The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. a kind of rhombomere.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the rhombomere 6. 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 6?
It sits within the nervous system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the rhombomere 6 connect to?
A kind of: rhombomere.
Is the rhombomere 6 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.
