pectoral girdle region
An organism subdivision that includes the pectoral girdle skeleton and associated soft tissue. Note that this includes both the skeletal elements and associated tissues (integument, muscle, etc). Examples: There are only two instances in an organism, right and left pectoral girdle regions. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the pectoral girdle region is
An organism subdivision that includes the pectoral girdle skeleton and associated soft tissue. Note that this includes both the skeletal elements and associated tissues (integument, muscle, etc). Examples: There are only two instances in an organism, right and left pectoral girdle regions. The atlas records it as a region at the region scale in the human body.
Where the pectoral girdle region 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 pectoral girdle region connects to
The atlas records 15 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of material anatomical entity and pectoral complex.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the pectoral girdle region. 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 cingulum membri superioris, girdle - pectoral, shoulder girdle, upper limb girdle, pectoral girdle and pectoral region. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the pectoral girdle region?
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 pectoral girdle region connect to?
Part of: material anatomical entity and pectoral complex.
Is the pectoral girdle region 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.
