Questions

Where is the pulmonary capillary?

It sits in the thorax and trunk, within the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. 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 pulmonary capillary connect to?

Part of: lung, respiratory system, thoracic segment of trunk and trunk.

Is the pulmonary capillary 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.
