forelimb zeugopod

The middle limb segment of the pectoral free limb, between the autopod and stylopod segments. Includes as parts the forelimb zeugopodial skeleton, which includes as parts the radius and ulna, or their cartilage precursors, or evolutionary variants. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the forelimb zeugopod is

The middle limb segment of the pectoral free limb, between the autopod and stylopod segments. Includes as parts the forelimb zeugopodial skeleton, which includes as parts the radius and ulna, or their cartilage precursors, or evolutionary variants. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the human body.

Where the forelimb zeugopod is

It sits in the upper limb. 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 forelimb zeugopod connects to

The atlas records 24 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of arm and forelimb.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the forelimb zeugopod. 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

Questions

Where is the forelimb zeugopod?

It sits in the upper limb. 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 forelimb zeugopod connect to?

Part of: arm and forelimb.

Is the forelimb zeugopod 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.
