1) colors are definitely reversed on "sensory (afferent) division" and "motor (efferent division)"; colors are probably reversed on "Autonomic nervous system" and "Somatic nervous system", though possibly both should be red to indicate that both bullets are statements about function
2) the usage of red and green is not color-impaired friendly. Changing to red/blue would be easy and effective. Majqadri (talk) 02:59, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
Hi Majqadri, thank you for being so observant. Your concerns are quite right, however, the diagram is an uploaded picture and cannot be easily be changed. The diagram was uploaded by User:Fuzzform who has been inactive for more than five years. So the best solution would be to find a better diagram and exchange it. I will take a look in Commons to see if I can find this. Lova Falk (talk) 07:12, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
I found this flowchart. What do you think? And, what do other editors think? Lova Falk (talk) 07:18, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Nobody has answered; I'll exchange the pictures. Lova Falk (talk) 07:31, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
