vomer in dogs
The triangular flat bone of the nasal septum. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the vomer is
The triangular flat bone of the nasal septum. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the dog.
Where the vomer is
It sits in the head, within the skeletal and digestive systems. 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 vomer connects to
The atlas records 13 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of anatomical entity, anatomical system and facial skeleton, and 5 more.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the vomer. 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 vomer bone and prevomer. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the vomer?

Is the vomer 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.
