thoracic thymus in dogs
A mature thymus that is entirely part of thoracic region. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the thoracic thymus is
A mature thymus that is entirely part of thoracic region. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the thoracic thymus is
It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the endocrine and lymphatic & immune systems. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.
What the thoracic thymus connects to
The atlas records 4 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of thoracic segment of trunk.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the thoracic thymus. 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.

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.
