thoracic vertebra in dogs
A thoracic vertebra endochondral element that is composed primarily of a bone tissue. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the thoracic vertebra is
A thoracic vertebra endochondral element that is composed primarily of a bone tissue. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the thoracic vertebra is
It sits in the thorax, back and trunk, 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 thoracic vertebra connects to
The atlas records 22 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of thoracic region of vertebral column and thoracic segment of trunk.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the thoracic vertebra. 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 dorsal vertebra, thorax vertebra, vertebra of thorax and vertebra thoracica. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Is the thoracic vertebra 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.
