Is it worth it?

[edit]

Is this page even worth having? I looked around and I couldn't find much, if any, information on the dorsum of a Lepidopteran. Couldn't this article just be merged with the Lepidopteran article? -richjkl 01:55, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I hear you! I have toyed with the idea of writing a "Lepidopteran wing anatomy" page to which various terms like dorsum, costa, termen, tornus, frenulum, fascia, stigma, discal spot, etc could redirect but it would definitely need a diagram. I haven't found a suitable image which is definitely GFDL licensed and I'm afraid I don't have the artistic skill to draw one myself:) Any ideas? Richard Barlow 10:26, 14 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

dorsal in neuroanatomy

[edit]

dorsal in neuro anatomy is equivalent to superior. ventral becomes inferior. This only applies in the forebrain. it is not so in the midbrain. 207.151.254.14 23:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

disambiguation needed

[edit]

The use of 'dorsal' in human medicine is too important for it to be a footnote of a biology article. The dorsum of the foot, dorsal roots and rootlets, and the use in brain anatomy should have its own page.
