sensory system
Anatomical system that overlaps the nervous system and is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the sensory system is
Anatomical system that overlaps the nervous system and is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information. The atlas records it as a region at the system scale in the human body.
Where the sensory system is
It sits within the sensory system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the sensory system connects to
The atlas records 45 typed relationships for it, across 5 kinds of connection. part of entire sense organ system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the sensory system. 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 sensory system?
It sits within the sensory system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the sensory system connect to?
Part of: entire sense organ system.
Is the sensory system 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.
