muscle organ

Organ consisting of a tissue made up of various elongated cells that are specialized to contract and thus to produce movement and mechanical work[GO]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the muscle organ is

Organ consisting of a tissue made up of various elongated cells that are specialized to contract and thus to produce movement and mechanical work[GO]. The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the muscle organ is

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

What the muscle organ connects to

The atlas records 44 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of musculature.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the muscle organ. 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 muscle. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the muscle organ?

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

What does the muscle organ connect to?

Part of: musculature.

Is the muscle organ 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.
