Heartanatomy
Nerve Innervation
editPlease add nerves that innervate the heart, such as the vagus nerve and some other nerves.
Grammatical Errors
editBefore making additions, or changes, to this article, or any article, have someone with a degree in English, such as myself, proof-read the addition. It is for the grammatical errors on wikipedia that wikipedia is NOT ALLOWED as a source for thesis papers in grade school and/or college; it is not limited to this reason but is with the addition to a lack of thorough bibliographies to document your sources.
If you quote someone else's litterary writings, DO NOT EDIT THEIR grammatical mistakes within the quotes but, if you add something without quotes, paraphrased, correct any mistakes!
Evolution of the heart
editHow did the heart evolve in earlier life and become a specialized blood pumping organ? The article should make this clear.
- That's a very good quesion, and one I don't think is covered adequately. For whatever reason, the movement of the blood circulation precedes the formation of the heart -- and this fact is really most curious. To explain this phenomenon, there are some who contend that the heart is not so much a pump, as a Hydraulic Ram -- an organ built-up from cumulative peripheral activity. See exerpt from link, below:
- In 1932, Bremer of Harvard filmed the blood in the very early embryo circulating in self-propelled mode in spiralling streams before the heart was functioning. Amazingly, he was so impressed with the spiralling nature of the blood flow pattern that he failed to realize that the phenomena before him contradicted the pressure propulsion principle -- raising the spectre that the heart was not merely a pump forcing inert blood to move with pressure but that the blood was propelled with its own biological momentum -- as can be seen in the embryo, and boosts itself with induced momenta from the heart. The pressure does not cause the blood to circulate but is caused by interrupting the circulation. [1]
I propose to add more pictures that show well Truncus pulmonales and Aorta
editThere is too few pictures about real preparates. I feel ashamed about the quality of the current article. Need to take better pictures. Please, do it if you manage before me and upload here.
It is really useful to understand the relative position between the two and their walls from real preparates. You can make a lot of discussion about them which should be done.
common usage
editI am going to start here.
Wikipedia states that common usage is required on wikipeadia. Not academic usage. All of the medical entries I have seen on Wikipedia are full of obscure Latin academic terms. Against Wikipedia Rules. I had a heart attack over a year ago. Reading about such things online was full of confusing jargon. All Medical Latin terminology is incomprehensible to the layman. I will be starting a campaign to simplify medical language in accordance with Wikipedia rules. It would be better if the medical profession would begin it. I really am sick of reading incomprehesible wikipedia articles about medical subjects. Especially when they are in direct contradiction of wikipedia guidlines. There is a rule about plain english here. Do you get the picture, MDs? Plain English. explain it in normal Language, or I will be editing it in plain english. and I might be wrong. I hope other will follow. so it would be better for the MDs to use plain english to start with.

- You might want to bring this up at the talk page of WikiProject Medicine, where many excellent contributors will see it. The manual of style for medical articles does indeed support providing plain-English explanations of technical terms. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 11:23, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
