synovial joint in dogs

Joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by an articular capsule which encloses a synovial membrane and a synovial cavity. Examples: Temporomandibular joint, knee joint.[FMA]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the synovial joint is

Joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by an articular capsule which encloses a synovial membrane and a synovial cavity. Examples: Temporomandibular joint, knee joint.[FMA]. The atlas records it as a joint at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the synovial joint is

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

What the synovial joint connects to

The atlas records 24 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. a kind of skeletal joint.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the synovial joint. 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
