sesamoid bone in dogs

A sesamoid element that is composed of bone tissue. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the sesamoid bone is

A sesamoid element that is composed of bone tissue. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the sesamoid bone is

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

What the sesamoid bone connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. a kind of bone element and skeletal element.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the sesamoid bone. 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.
