sublingual duct

A duct of a sublingual gland. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the sublingual duct is

A duct of a sublingual gland. The atlas records it as a organ at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the sublingual duct is

It sits within the digestive system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the sublingual duct connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of sublingual gland.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the sublingual duct. 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.

What does the sublingual duct connect to?

Part of: sublingual gland.

Is the sublingual duct 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.
