Talk:Human rib cage

message: Someone came on here and replaced a whole block of text in the begining with silly
non-sense like "Patrick Thorne only has three ribs because he is awesome." or something
like that so I reverted the edit and posted a Vandalism Warning 2 in his user page.

message: Anyone else think a mention of the myth that all women have an extra set of ribs should be added? I find this to be a very, VERY common urban legend and there is no direct contridiction of it here. I think a small mention near the bottom contridicting this myth would be educational. If no one objects I'll ad it in a week or so. Lando242 17:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Finally got around adding to this article . Decided to just go with the info from the "Ribs" article but added a source to go along with it (which I also added to the ribs article) and put an external link to "De Humani Corporis Fabrica" tranlation.Lando242 10:27, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

That error above is just one of many errors on this page. The entire page needs to be reconstructed, badly.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.220.200.182 (talk) 23:18, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Human Spare ribs? 

message: In the third image, "Surface projections of the organs of the trunk," there seems to be an error in the great arteries branching off the aorta. The image depicts two brachiocephalic arteries branching off the aorta on both sides, which then branch into the subclavians arteries and common carotids. I believe this is incorrect - there should only be one brachiocephalic trunk on the right, and the L common carotid and L subclavian arteries should branch directly off the aorta. I am currently learning anatomy, so please correct me if I am wrong.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nina wicks (talk • contribs) 04:50, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
