Lemma
[edit]The article should be renamed in either Levatores costarum muscles (plural) oder Levator costae muscle (singular) --Uwe Gille (talk) 19:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- I agree, and have renamed it to "Levatores costarum muscles". (A note to future editors, wondering why we're using the plural form instead of the singular -- I believe the standard for anatomy is to use plurals only when there are multiples on a single side of the body. The body has two biceps muscles, but we refer to the "biceps muscle". However, for levatores costarum, one exists for each rib.
