skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate

A muscle organ that consists of skeletal muscle tissue ensheathed in epimysium, that develops from myotome and that is innervated by some somatic motor neuron. Skeletal muscles are typically attached (via a tendon) to a bone but there are exceptions (e.g. intrinsic tongue muscles). Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate is

A muscle organ that consists of skeletal muscle tissue ensheathed in epimysium, that develops from myotome and that is innervated by some somatic motor neuron. Skeletal muscles are typically attached (via a tendon) to a bone but there are exceptions (e.g. intrinsic tongue muscles). The atlas records it as a muscle at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate is

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

What the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate connects to

The atlas records 40 typed relationships for it, across 7 kinds of connection. part of skeletal musculature and limb segment.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate. 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

Questions

Where is the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate?

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

What does the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate connect to?

Part of: skeletal musculature and limb segment.

Is the skeletal muscle organ, vertebrate 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.
