Talk:Funiculus (neuroanatomy)

Funiculus/Fascicle

According to Gray's anatomy, funiculus is "a small bundle of fibres, enclosed in a tubular sheath; if the nerve is of small size, it may consist only of a single funiculus; but if large, the funiculi are collected together into larger bundles or fasciculi, which are bound together in a common membranous investment" i.e. the epineurium. In this article and another article (Nerve fascicle), the terms are used interchangeably, which I think is wrong. Kindly have a look at this. Thanks.

Funiculus (neurology) → Funiculus (neuroanatomy) – More appropriately referred to as an anatomical structure (which this is; small bundles of nerve fibres) as opposed to a medical structure - so it is more accurate to describe as "(neuroanatomy)" as compared with "(neurology"). Am proposing this as a requested move given it was recently moved here by Iztwoz, and per this discussion on my talk page: Special:Permalink/946712236. Tom (LT) (talk) 23:07, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Thanks Tom, am still not sure - books on neuroanatomy are restricted to the central nervous system.? --Iztwoz (talk) 08:00, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

• Suggest moving to Funiculus (peripheral nervous system) and move the content about the spinal cord to the disambiguation page, since these aren't the same subject. – Thjarkur (talk) 11:48, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Have made changes to the funiculus page - am thinking that a separate page might be made to cover the three funiculi of the spinal cord and funiculus not needing an entry page of its own just referred to as it is on the nerve fascicle page.--Iztwoz (talk) 12:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

What do you think Tom - of suggestion of page on spinal cord funiculi or merging them to Spinal cord page - they are very small entries? --Iztwoz (talk) 12:46, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Sounds like a good solution, as that's what this is actually about. Something like Spinal cord funinculi sounds fine, and merge all the smaller 4 articles here, what do you think about that? (I think it's probably a bit much to merge the tiny subarticles to the huge parent spinal cord article) --Tom (LT) (talk) 08:18, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

• Support move regardless of the outcome of the merge discussion above. Funiculus is a term from neuroanatomy, not neurology. Axem Titanium (talk) 16:31, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
• Closing comment: This article has been the subject of several moves, most recently

 22:00, 8 March 2020‎ Iztwoz talk contribs block‎  82 bytes +82‎  Iztwoz moved page Funiculus (neuroanatomy) to Funiculus (neurology) over redirect: Wrongly moved page-infobox and image are of neurology

Hopefully this RM will lead to stability. I considered relisting and pinging the most recent mover, but the rationale of that move is patently without basis in policy. Andrewa (talk) 09:42, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
