Comment. I noted on PPR there were some errors in the text. Unfortunately some still haven't been corrected. Superior is spelled supperior in several places. Also the capital B on Bronchii is totally inconsistent with other capitalisations; additionally bronchi is already the plural of bronchus, and I don't think the word bronchii exists (and just for another minor grumble, shouldn't Main bronchi be above Intermediate bronchus). I also commented that it is unlikely that they are strictly veins and arteries joining straight into capillaries in the alveoli; more likely arterioles and venules. The coloured words on the left should also probably be right aligned for consistency. I don't have any actual references with me to check other details. Some corrections have been made to the original which is good, but there's no reason they can't all be corrected. --jjron (talk) 08:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Oppose while easily corrected errors remain. --jjron (talk) 08:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC) fixed by Jeff Teque5 (talk) 00:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the strikethroughs, but it's general etiquette to allow the contributor to do that themself if the comment is no longer relevant. --jjron (talk) 06:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Support incidentally, now that all seems correct (well done Jeff). It's one of the better anatomical/biological diagrams that has come up here. --jjron (talk) 07:04, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Support OK, I made the changes suggested by jjron, as well as a few minor pointer line fixes. Everything looks consistent with what I learned in anatomy class, but I don't have a reference text to compare it to. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 19:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Jeff, if you could go back to the version that has the arterioles in blue and the venuoles in red, then it would be much more correct. Remember, this is in the lungs, and the red & blue are traditonally symbols for how much oxygen the blood has. The blood in the pulmonary arterioles is coming from the body and going to the lungs where it will gain oxygen. - Enuja (talk) 00:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

It still says "Superior lobe" on the left and "Supperior lobe" on the right. :) -- RG² 01:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Both done. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 05:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Support Now that it's corrected. - Enuja (talk) 00:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Support Looks good. I wonder if we should label the esophagus since it's drawn in the diagram? Would that lead to more confusion (thinking it's part of the respiratory system) or illumination (labeling part of the diagram)? Matt Deres (talk) 03:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- My instinctive feeling would be to leave it unlabeled, otherwise, as you suggest, it may indicate to people that it's part of the resp. system. There's really already enough labels. --jjron (talk) 06:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Strong Support A wonderful and extremely useful illustration. FP material, indeed! --Shark face 217 03:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
