skeletal system in dogs

Anatomical system that is a multi-element, multi-tissue anatomical cluster that consists of the skeleton and the articular system. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the skeletal system is

Anatomical system that is a multi-element, multi-tissue anatomical cluster that consists of the skeleton and the articular system. The atlas records it as a system at the system scale in the dog.

Where the skeletal system is

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

What the skeletal system connects to

The atlas records 180 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of anatomical system and musculoskeletal system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the skeletal 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 skeleton system, set of all bones and joints and Skelettsystem. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the skeletal system?

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

What does the skeletal system connect to?

Part of: anatomical system and musculoskeletal system.

Is the skeletal 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.
