Could someone add diagrams to these pages ? Anatomy is much more comprehensible that way. --Taw
- I'm a bit of an artist, what kind of diagrams?
- - Zanimum Nicholas Moreau howdoyoudotheremate@yahoo.com
- You could add images about the anatomy parts ( in PNG and SVG preferly, because they are open standards ).We need something similar -but simplier in the beginning- to Gray´s Anathomy).
The section "External Organs" has been changed to "External Features". Wonder which of the items listed there are organs and which are not. Jay 18:40, 26 Jun 2004 (UTC)

- As far as this list goes, the ear and nose are in the same situation - they are both definitely sense organs, but little of the specialized tissues that allow them to do their jobs are externally located. Only the pinna of the ear is external - and really, none of what's externally visible of the nose has anything to do with the sense of smell. Or maybe it's just my inner pedant emerging yet again. --dcf 12:40, 2004 Jun 27 (UTC)
Major Systems
Should the links under "Major Systems of the Human Body" be changed? For example, the link for "Skeletal System" leads to a general article about skeletal systems in animals, when IMHO it might be better to link to the Human_skeleton article instead. All the other links appear to be the same way. -- Miss Puffskein 20:44, Jul 12, 2004 (UTC)
