Talk:Orbit (anatomy)

sorry - teal should be labeled palatine, not zygomatic (or ethmoid)

that first image
sucks. it looks like an abstract art painting. put up a real skull picture of some sort.

 * It is a picture of a skull: it's just a close-up of the area around the eye, with the different bones colored so you can see which one is where.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:42, 28 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree with the original comment. It absolutely sucks, especially for someone like me with colour deficiency. Whoever thought of colour-coding in medical images as the sole identifying/labeling mechanism is seriously misguided. Never mind the fact that it doesn't show the borders of the bones with very much accuracy. Something like the one in Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy, 6e. would be nice. Or the Bones of the Orbit picture from Instant Anatomy. Nonagonal Spider (talk) 21:07, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree; that's a really ugly diagram and difficult to interpret.Bill (talk) 23:17, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I moved the colored picture of the bones of the orbit to the section "Bones" and changed the infobox image to a better picture. Looks like it was a featured image on wikipedia at some point.  That colored one is pretty difficult to interpret, even if you are already familiar with the orbit. Rytyho usa (talk) 00:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

Lateral pictures
I'm wondering about the two lateral pictures of the orbit. Are the pictures showing a branch from the Occulomotor Nerve III passing to the Superior Oblique Oc. Muscle? Shouldn't that be innervated by the Trochlear Nerve IV? Clearfell (talk) 05:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Orbital bone
This redirects from "orbital bone" but never explains the term.Bill (talk) 23:17, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Differences of the exe sockets between Afrikans, Caucasians and Asians
The differences of the exe sockets between Afrikans, Caucasians and Asians are missing. Are there any capable anthropologists on Wikipedia? Guess not...because I thought that would be something you learn in the first semester of anthropology! --89.187.142.72 (talk) 23:48, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
