Length

There seems to be no mention whatsoever of the fact that there are 62,000 miles of blood vessels in the body, which would be more than sufficient to go 2 and 1/2 times around the word.

  • This has now been debunked, thanks to a 2020 paper which looked at the original source of the information—August Krogh in 1919.

3D model

It would be very nice to have 3D model of the knee so that people can explore it from thier prefered angle; I uploaded this one. But it was not accepted what would need to be changed/updated about the model before it would be acceptable for the article? then we can also update the model at List of organs of the human body
