integument

The dermis, epidermis and hypodermis. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the integument is

The dermis, epidermis and hypodermis. The atlas records it as a skin at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the integument is

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

What the integument connects to

The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of integumental system.

Supply and innervation

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

Questions

Where is the integument?

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

What does the integument connect to?

Part of: integumental system.

Is the integument 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.
