anatomical conduit
Any tube, opening or passage that connects two distinct anatomical spaces. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the anatomical conduit is
Any tube, opening or passage that connects two distinct anatomical spaces. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the anatomical conduit 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 anatomical conduit connects to
The atlas records 160 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. a kind of anatomical structure.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the anatomical conduit. 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 foramen, foramina, opening, ostia and ostium. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the anatomical conduit?
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 does the anatomical conduit connect to?
A kind of: anatomical structure.
Is the anatomical conduit the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
