[edit] Alternate name

Could someone confirm that an alternate name for the phrenic nerve is the "internal respiratory nerve of Bell", according to Gray, page 928? If this is confirmed, then I would suggest adding this to List of subjects in Gray's Anatomy: Alphabetical: N as one of two replacements for the term "respiratory, of Bell".

I believe that the long thoracic nerve also shares this eponym. --Arcadian 17:46, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

"Internal respiratory nerve" sounds plausible but too obscure. I think we ought to avoid eponyms, anyway.

I've had a crack at rewriting some of this article. Richardcavell 01:50, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
