Introduction
The Terminologia Anatomica (TA) was developed by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FCAT) and first released in 1998, it contains about 7,500 simplified descriptive names.[1] In 2011 TA was published online by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT).
Historically many names and terminology in medicine and biology were given names based upon Latin or Greek roots. In addition, many discoveries were given names (eponyms) based upon the original discoverer or by the discoverer referring to other key researchers. In the late nineteenth century this led to the confusing list of more than 50,000 terms used for various body parts. This can also mean that a single structure can be identified by a range of names to confuse the unwary student. Today many of these historic terms have been replaced in the Terminologia Anatomica with about 7,500 simplified descriptive names.
Wilhelm His attempted to standardise anatomy terminology with the Basel Nomina Anatomica (BNA, His 1895). This system was updated through a number of editions until replaced by the Nomina Anatomica (1956) and subsequently by the Terminologia Anatomica (1998).
Terminologia Histologica (TH) was later developed by the same committee and released in 2008 as a companion text to TA and contains terminology for cellular structures, tissue and organs at the microscopic level.
