Talk:Dorsum (anatomy)

Is it worth it?
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)
 * 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)

dorsal in neuroanatomy
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)

disambiguation needed
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.
