Better. Although both examples given are of the "skeletal" system, scapula and vertebrae . My understanding was that something like SuperficialAnatomy could cover ALL types of anatomical systems. That was the original intent of the type, Correct ? Here's the thing... in my mind I was actually thinking of showing differing anatomy examples. Like the median cubital (vein) used in phlebotomy. What characteristics of the median cubital (vein) http://schemaorg-medicalext.appspot.com/Vein could be observed as being SuperficialAnatomy ? I do like the scapula example over the vertebrae, btw. After shoring that up... I would say it's good enough for promotion.
