bony projection

Anatomical projection that is composed of bone tissue. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the bony projection is

Anatomical projection that is composed of bone tissue. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the bony projection is

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the bony projection connects to

The atlas records 14 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of skeletal element.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the bony projection. 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 bone process, projection of bone and bony projections. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the bony projection?

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the bony projection connect to?

Part of: skeletal element.

Is the bony projection 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.
