semicircular canal in dogs
One of three half-circular, interconnected tubes located inside each ear[WP]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the semicircular canal is
One of three half-circular, interconnected tubes located inside each ear[WP]. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the semicircular canal is
It sits in the head, within the sensory 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 semicircular canal connects to
The atlas records 11 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of internal ear and membranous labyrinth.
Supply and innervation
Innervation: vestibular nerve.
Also called
Also recorded as semicircular canals, canalis semicircularis, ductus semicirculares, scc and semicircular ducts. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the semicircular canal?
It sits in the head, within the sensory 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 does the semicircular canal connect to?
Part of: internal ear and membranous labyrinth.
Is the semicircular canal 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.
