blood vasculature
A vascular network consisting of blood vessels. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the blood vasculature is
A vascular network consisting of blood vessels. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the human body.
Where the blood vasculature is
It sits within the cardiovascular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the blood vasculature connects to
The atlas records 62 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of cardiovascular system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the blood vasculature. 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 blood vascular network, set of blood vessels, blood system, blood vessel system and blood vessels. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the blood vasculature?
It sits within the cardiovascular system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the blood vasculature connect to?
Part of: cardiovascular system.
Is the blood vasculature 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.
