ulnar nerve in dogs

A nerve which runs near the ulna bone. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the ulnar nerve is

A nerve which runs near the ulna bone. The atlas records it as a nerve at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the ulnar nerve is

It sits in the forelimb, within the nervous system. Only the region is known. The position shown is somewhere plausible inside it and nothing more.

What the ulnar nerve connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of arm and brachial nerve plexus.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the ulnar nerve. 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.
