sensory system in dogs

Anatomical system that overlaps the nervous system and is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the sensory system is

Anatomical system that overlaps the nervous system and is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information. The atlas records it as a region at the system scale in the dog.

Where the sensory system is

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

What the sensory system connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of entire sense organ system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the sensory system. 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 organa sensuum, sense organ subsystem, sense organs, sense organs set, sensory subsystem and sensory systems, and 2 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the sensory system?

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

What does the sensory system connect to?

Part of: entire sense organ system.

Is the sensory system 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.
