tetrapod frontal bone in dogs

The bone forming the forehead and roof of the eye orbit. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the tetrapod frontal bone is

The bone forming the forehead and roof of the eye orbit. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the tetrapod frontal bone is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. 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 tetrapod frontal bone connects to

The atlas records 18 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, anatomical system and neurocranium, and 2 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the tetrapod frontal 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.

Also called

Also recorded as frontal, frontal bone, os frontal and os frontale. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the tetrapod frontal bone?

It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the tetrapod frontal bone connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, anatomical system, neurocranium, skeletal system and skeleton.

Is the tetrapod frontal bone 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.
