skeletal element
Organ consisting of skeletal tissue. Encompasses whole bones, fused bones, cartilaginious elements, teeth, dermal denticles. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the skeletal element is
Organ consisting of skeletal tissue. Encompasses whole bones, fused bones, cartilaginious elements, teeth, dermal denticles. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the skeletal element is
It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What the skeletal element connects to
The atlas records 201 typed relationships for it, across 8 kinds of connection. part of skeletal system.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the skeletal element. 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 skeletal element?
It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.
What does the skeletal element connect to?
Part of: skeletal system.
Is the skeletal element 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.
