Talk:Anatomical terms of location

Hand and feet section
Hi, Tom(LT)-- I completely understand that this is an introductory section, and gladly withdraw the somewhat more technical edits I made. You already have a GA here, so it doesn't need much to be done to it and I should have realized that. I do hope some of my previous edits were helpful. I am a hand surgeon but, nevertheless, my edits are still unsourced. Let me know if I can help at any time. Best regards, Eagledj (talk) 13:10, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi firstly - well met! always a pleasure to meet another editor interested in Anatomy. Thanks so much for your considered reply in this regard as it is never nice being reverted. I've striven over the last few years to really try and make our anatomical articles more accessible to lay readers (see my essay WP:ANATSIMPLIFY relating to this). May I pique your interest with Anatomical terminology, Anatomical terms of muscle and Anatomical terms of bone?? Would be great to have another interested editor in those parts and they might benefit from your attention too. Also there is a small community of interested editors at WP:ANATOMY who can be contacted if you want to collaborate on something. Tom (LT) (talk) 05:03, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

Nothing on plant anatomy?
I see that this has GA status, but a very important content area is wholly missing - anatomical terms used in plant anatomy (which are also used with mushroom-forming fungi). It's based on the idea of plants being more or less radially symetrical, and divides the plant body into a transverse plane and two logitudinal planes: a tangential plane and a radial plane. It's one of the first things you're taught in a botany or forestry class, and I'm really surprised not to see it here, or really anywhere on Wikipedia.

The articles on anatomical planes and plant anatomy should also be updated to include such information.

Spacing/Layout
Just reporting that the Introduction section has large gaps that seem to be caused by the images (on Chrome). 184.67.135.194 (talk) 18:49, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Flounder Example
I believe that the "top" of a flounder could refer to either its left or its right side is incorrect. According to https://www.koaw.org/anatomical-directionalities and other sources, the anatomical position for fish is such that the typically flat surfaces which a lay person would call "its left or its right side" would never be the "top". How could the side surfaces of the fish in anatomical position at https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5808f56fcd0f687a0363b922/1605569930028-8BIUZ8IYRGME9Y2W2FQC/Anatomical+Directionalities+of+Fishes+Fish+Ventral+Dorsal+Anterior+Posterior+Koaw+Nature.png?format=2500w possibly be described as at the "top"? It's also problematic and circular to describe "top" in terms of "left" or "right" when the purpose is to define what top, left, right, etc. are. IMO the description should be in terms of some other characteristics (such as organs located in that direction). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blaine-dev (talk • contribs) 22:11, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
