tetrapod parietal bone in dogs

In humans: bone forming side and roof of cranium. Each bone is irregularly quadrilateral in form, and has two surfaces, four borders, and four angles. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the tetrapod parietal bone is

In humans: bone forming side and roof of cranium. Each bone is irregularly quadrilateral in form, and has two surfaces, four borders, and four angles. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the tetrapod parietal 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 parietal bone connects to

The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of neurocranium and vault of skull.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the tetrapod parietal 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 actinopterygian frontal bone, frontal bone, parietal, parietal bone and os parietale. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the tetrapod parietal bone?

What does the tetrapod parietal bone connect to?

Part of: neurocranium and vault of skull.

Is the tetrapod parietal 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.
