Generalization of main anatomical articles edit
This is just an (ongoing) evaluation of the most important anatomical articles in regards to:
- How well they portray the common traits of an anatomical feature, as found in most or all species with said feature (taking the least common ground-approach)
- The degree of which it contains imagery (as in photos or diagrams) that showcase the variety/differences within the subject matter (when applicable)
| Main article | Related/specific articles | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Brain | Human brain | - |
| Eye | Mammalian eye, Human eye, Mollusc eye | - |
| Tooth | Human tooth, Horse tooth | Should be expanded on primate teeth in general |
| Heart | Human heart | Main article lacks example images of non-human hearts |
| Lung | Human lung | - |
| Kidney | - | Human-specific parts to be moved into Human kidney? |
| Liver | - | Human-specific parts to be moved into Human liver (currently a redirection)? |
| Stomach | - | Human-specific parts to be moved into Human stomach? Regardless, the section In other animals could very well be integrated into Anatomy of the Stomach as a subsection |
| Penis | Penis (animal), Human penis | Merge Penis (animal) into Penis (as the only beings having penises are animals anyway) |
| Foot | Paw, Hoof | Human-specific parts to be moved into Human foot? Needs expansion on feet of other animals, as well as paws and hooves |
| Mouth | - | Very little information about mouths in general. The section In non-human animals should probably have its contents moved into the introduction |
| Vulva, vagina, Clitoris | - | Definitely have enough content on the human anatomy to warrant a move to human-specific articles. However, the extent of generic information may be sparse |
| Testicles | - | Needs a bit more variation in example imagery, at the least |
| Skin | Human skin | - |
| Hair | Human hair growth | Some sections in the main article (especially the latter ones) would probably fit better on the human hair growth article? |
| Mammary gland | Breast, Udder | - |
| Uterus | - | Lacks example images of non-human uteri |
| Ear | - | Needs expansion and some cleaning up first |
