stapes base in dogs
The flat portion of the stirrup of the ear that fits in the oval window between the middle and inner ear. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the stapes base is
The flat portion of the stirrup of the ear that fits in the oval window between the middle and inner ear. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the stapes base is
It sits in the head, within the skeletal and sensory systems. 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 stapes base connects to
The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of bone element, organ and stapes bone.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the stapes base. 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 base of stapes, basis stapedis, stapes footpiece, stapes footplate and footplate. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the stapes base 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.
