Anatomical variations

Apart from what is already there in anatomy atlases, variations are something that should be aware of. I encourage those who are interested or have background knowledge to help expand the articles in this area. I believe this is a huge area we can expand. Note that it is not always necessary to create a new article to explain an anatomical variation. Varied features of normal anatomical structures can be added to the heading 'structure' under new subheading 'variations'. (See WP:MEDMOS#Anatomy) It can be based on cadaveric studies, case reports or meta-analyses. Please visit Illustrated Encyclopedia of Human Anatomic Variation for a more complete list.

Goal: Expand the area of anatomical variation
Details:
- Expand the list (list of anatomical variations) and the articles linked form there.
- Add subheading 'variations' to the heading 'structure' to explain any structure that shows varied features and possibly its clinical significance. (See pancreas or extensor indicis as examples)
- Create new articles explaining variations which specific term is given. (See extensor medii proprius or extensor indicis et medii communis)
Intended duration: Some months
Progress:
