Seeing as this is the English wikipedia, shouldn't the diagram of the bones in the skull be in English, not French?

calavera is latin and it is the scientific name, the same as all other scientific names which are in latin.

[edit] middle pic misprint

The middle picture says Lagrimal, this should be Lacrimal.

[edit] Respiratory epithelium

The upper part of the respiratory tract is described as having "respiratory epithelium". I'm taught, as a medical student, that the epithelium has no respiratory function, and for distinguishment purposes the correct naming is "epithelium of the respiratory tract". I've added a talk coment on the linked page, but I have not the references needed to verify my claim. If someone with a higher grade of competence, and who is updated on the subject could comment or give a reference, the issue could be resolved. I've made no edits. Madskile 20:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
