Human Anatomy Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-31 · 10 entries checked · 8 flagged · 14 issues confirmed · 0 corrected · 14 still open

Clitoris — [contradicted] The clitoris' only known purpose in humans is to provide sexual pleasure. :: The source article states: 'The only known purpose of the human clitoris is to provide sexual pleasure.' This is the same, but the tagline 'primary anatomical source of

Esophagus — [contradicted] The esophagus has taste buds on its upper part. :: The source states 'There are taste buds on its upper part' in the Structure section, which is explicitly stated in the source article, so not a contradiction — but if the claim is considered as

Eye — [contradicted] Camera-type eyes have evolved independently at least 8 to 10 times across various groups :: The source says "lens-bearing eyes have evolved at least seven times" and "Heterogeneous eyes have evolved at least nine times" (but not camera-type spec

Eye — [contradicted] Found in about 95-96% of animal species across roughly 30 phyla :: The source says "more advanced eyes have evolved in 96% of animal species in six of the ~35 main phyla" (not across roughly 30 phyla).

White blood cell — [contradicted] White blood cells include three main subtypes: granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes :: The source states they include three main subtypes: granulocytes, lymphocytes and monocytes. This claim is consistent with the source — no contradiction fo

White blood cell — [contradicted] Granulocytes (neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils) are distinguished by lobed nuclei and visible cytoplasmic granules, while agranulocytes (lymphocytes, monocytes) have round nuclei and lack visible granules. :: The source states granulocytes ha

Eye examination — [contradicted] The swinging-flashlight test is specifically used to detect a relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD), not for all optic nerve anomalies. :: The source explicitly states: 'The swinging-flashlight test is the most useful clinical test available

Finger — [contradicted] In humans, the thumb is opposable, but the other fingers are not :: The source states that 'in humans, the fingers are opposable,' referring to fingers generally, without explicitly excluding the other fingers.

Finger — [contradicted] While some case studies have reported fingertip regrowth in children after amputation above the nail, this is not a universally accepted fact in standard human anatomy :: The source explicitly states 'Fingertips, after having been torn off child

Hand — [contradicted] The thumb is a digit but not classified as a finger :: The source states: 'The human hand usually has five digits: four fingers plus one thumb; however, these are often referred to collectively as five fingers, whereby the thumb is included as o

Hand — [contradicted] The ten digits of two hands have sometimes been linked to decimal counting, though this is not a verified historical origin; similarly, the twelve finger segments (excluding the thumb) have been suggested as an inspiration :: The source states:

Lumbar puncture — [contradicted] Lumbar puncture is a key diagnostic tool for central nervous system diseases, particularly meningitis, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and other conditions. :: flagged by an independent model family (deepseek-v4-flash) against the source article; the s

Lumbar puncture — [contradicted] The procedure's contraindications include idiopathic increased intracranial pressure, bleeding diathesis, and skin infection at the puncture site. :: flagged by an independent model family (deepseek-v4-flash) against the source article; the same
