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. Jordan Yang 18:20, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)

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
