sacral vertebra in dogs
A vertebra bone that is part of the sacral region of the vertebral column. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the sacral vertebra is
A vertebra bone that is part of the sacral region of the vertebral column. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the sacral vertebra is
It sits in the pelvis, back and trunk, within the skeletal 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 sacral vertebra connects to
The atlas records 13 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of sacral region of vertebral column.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the sacral vertebra. 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 sacral segment and segment of sacrum. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
