spinal nerve in dogs

The any of the paired peripheral nerves formed by the union of the dorsal and ventral spinal roots from each spinal cord segment[MP,modified]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the spinal nerve is

The any of the paired peripheral nerves formed by the union of the dorsal and ventral spinal roots from each spinal cord segment[MP,modified]. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the spinal nerve is

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

What the spinal nerve connects to

The atlas records 17 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of peripheral nervous system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the spinal nerve. 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 backbone nerve, nerve of backbone, nerve of spinal column, nerve of spine, nerve of vertebral column and spinal column nerve, and 5 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.
