radius bone

The major preaxial endochondral bone in the anterior zeugopod[Phenoscape]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the radius bone is

The major preaxial endochondral bone in the anterior zeugopod[Phenoscape]. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the radius bone is

It sits in the upper limb, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the radius bone connects to

The atlas records 35 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex and appendicular skeleton, and 8 more.

Supply and innervation

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

Questions

Where is the radius bone?

It sits in the upper limb, within the skeletal system. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the radius bone connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, appendage girdle complex, appendicular skeleton, forelimb, forelimb skeleton and forelimb zeugopod, and 5 more.

Is the radius bone 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.
