Talk:Tubercle (anatomy)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page doesn't address tubercle in the anatomical sense, only in terms of disease. Examples of anatomical tubercles are the greater and lesser tubercles of the humerus. In this context "tubercle" is not related to any disease, merely an anatomical term. Given that the title is Tubercle (anatomy), it seems like the page could use a rewrite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.172.104 (talk) 13:21, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cule?

[edit]

If it's 'tuberculosis' then shouldn't it be tuberCULE? And if it's tubercle, shouldn't it be tuberclosis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 01:56, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

—what it should or shouldn't be called is not up to us, it's up to whomever named it originally and those are the names they chose. So no, it should be exactly as it is. Washyleopard (talk) 13:22, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
