vomer

The triangular flat bone of the nasal septum. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the vomer is

The triangular flat bone of the nasal septum. The atlas records it as a bone at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the vomer is

It sits in the head, within the skeletal and digestive systems. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What the vomer connects to

The atlas records 23 typed relationships for it, across 4 kinds of connection. part of anatomical structure, axial skeletal system and craniocervical region, and 12 more.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the vomer. 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 vomer bone and prevomer. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the vomer?

It sits in the head, within the skeletal and digestive systems. Positioned deliberately as part of this species body plan.

What does the vomer connect to?

Part of: anatomical structure, axial skeletal system, craniocervical region, digestive system, facial skeleton and head, and 9 more.

Is the vomer 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.
