skeletal joint

Anatomical structure that consists of two or more adjacent skeletal structures, which may be interconnected by various types of tissue[VSAO]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the skeletal joint is

Anatomical structure that consists of two or more adjacent skeletal structures, which may be interconnected by various types of tissue[VSAO]. The atlas records it as a joint at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the skeletal joint is

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the skeletal joint connects to

The atlas records 24 typed relationships for it, across 6 kinds of connection. part of articular system, appendicular skeletal system and axial skeletal system.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the skeletal joint. 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 articulation, joint, articular joint and joints. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the skeletal joint?

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What does the skeletal joint connect to?

Part of: articular system, appendicular skeletal system and axial skeletal system.

Is the skeletal joint 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.
