It looks more like a butterfly than a bat, and my anthropology teacher said it looked like a butterfly. I'm changing it to butterfly.

[edit] Reorganization

I think this page needs a major reorganization. Perhaps the topic of sphenoid bone is too big for one article, but I think a lot of the really small features that currently have their own articles can be merged with one of the larger articles. Also, I think we should make it a point to mention every structure catalogued in the Terminologia Anatomica for this bone, maybe using a bold font. Also, the Gray's format of surfaces is sort of tedious. Mauvila 01:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it should be in summary format —Pengo 10:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Why is the sphenoid bone of importance to vision? Spar252 23:37, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

I replaced the old picture: With this picture:

I find Gray's Anatomy pictures hard to look at and understand. If someone disagrees they can put the old one back. SadanYagci 00:07, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human Evolution

Seems the flexion of the spenoid is highly important to human evolution, at least according to some. e.g. the doco Homo Futurus (which is currently on the tele) goes on about it. Would be good to have some details here. —Pengo 10:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree, the current discoveries around the relevance of the Sphenoid in human evolution should be addressed. --Rathilien 01:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
