umbilical cord in dogs

The connecting cord from the developing embryo to the placenta. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the umbilical cord is

The connecting cord from the developing embryo to the placenta. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the dog.

Where the umbilical cord is

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What the umbilical cord connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. a kind of extraembryonic structure.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the umbilical cord. 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.
