rib in dogs
An intersegmental rod-shaped bone that forms in the peritoneal membrane and attach to the vertebral parapophyses. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the rib is
An intersegmental rod-shaped bone that forms in the peritoneal membrane and attach to the vertebral parapophyses. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the rib is
It sits within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.
What the rib connects to
The atlas records 38 typed relationships for it, across 10 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and skeletal system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the rib. 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 dorsal rib, pleural rib and ribs. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
