interlobular duct
A duct that is located between lobules, within the thin connective tissue septa that separate lobules. All interlobular ducts are excretory. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the interlobular duct is
A duct that is located between lobules, within the thin connective tissue septa that separate lobules. All interlobular ducts are excretory. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the interlobular duct is
This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.
What the interlobular duct connects to
The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of connective tissue.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the interlobular duct. 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 interlobular duct?
This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.
What does the interlobular duct connect to?
Part of: connective tissue.
Is the interlobular duct 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.
