caudal vertebra
Any vertebral bone that is part of the caudal region of the vertebral column (tail or coccyx). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the caudal vertebra is
Any vertebral bone that is part of the caudal region of the vertebral column (tail or coccyx). The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the caudal vertebra is
It sits in the back, within the skeletal system. 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 caudal vertebra connects to
The atlas records 9 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of dorsum, organism subdivision and postcranial axial skeleton, and 1 more.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the caudal vertebra. 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 caudal vertebra, caudal vertebrae, caudal vertebral bone, caudal vertebral bone element, coccygeal segment and coccygeal vertebra, and 3 more. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the caudal vertebra?
It sits in the back, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.
What does the caudal vertebra connect to?
Part of: dorsum, organism subdivision, postcranial axial skeleton and subdivision of vertebral column.
Is the caudal vertebra 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.
