“…His remarkable answer revealed a deep passion of the scientist for culture: 'The idea to call the newly discovered cells telocytes came to me during a break at the Vienna State Opera' (Manole and Creţoiu 2015). Oddly, the revolutionary discovery of 2005 and the intense research of the following years were not enough for telocytes to be included in the official, widely accepted histological nomenclature Terminologia Histologica (FIPAT 2008), despite the fact that it contains all terms associated with cells, tissues and organs at the microscopic level (Varga et al 2018). The logical question, and one of the most common, is how is it possible that telocytes were not discovered earlier?…”

The venous perforators of the lower limb – A new terminology

Latin anatomical terminology of venous perforators (communications between superficial and deep venous systems of the lower limb) was adopted as late as 2001 as an appendix to the official nomenclature following the clinicians’ request. Terminologia Anatomica, last version of the Latin anatomical nomenclature, published in 1998, unfortunately contains no terms concerning these veins. During the 14th World Congress of the International Union of Phlebology, a consensus document was laid to expand the nomenclature of the lower limb veins, above all 36 new terms for perforators of the lower limb, both in Latin and English languages. This consensus document will be incorporated in the next version of the Terminologia Anatomica. But there are more constant and well-described ones, especially in the foot, and this article reviews in particular the current knowledge on the anatomy of the venous perforators of the whole lower limb.

“…Like earlier versions of Nomina (1955,1961,1966,1977) and Terminologia Anatomica (1998Anatomica ( , 2011, the modern version is not perfect and it can be criticised in the future by astute authors, which is a good practice in anatomy [7,11,13,[16][17][18][19][20]26]. We are surprised that FIPAT describes [see endnote 66] the sigmoid sinus (sinus sigmoideus) as the terminal portion of the transverse sinus (sinus transversus) as such a definition is archaic.…”

“…It should be always simple, clear, precise, logical and coherent. Like other sets of scientific terms, the anatomical language is alive and changing, and consecutive versions of Terminologia Anatomica might reflect these changes, thereby providing a useful source of information over decades [9,11,13,23,26]. Although these recent changes [5] seem to be inspired by a long tradition and do not come as a surprise to anyone in the field, other modifications are characterised by innovativeness.…”

Terminologia Anatomica and its practical usage: pitfalls and how to avoid them

In 2016, the Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology tentatively approved the updated and extended version of anatomical terminology that replaced the previous version of Terminologia Anatomica (1998). This modern version has already appeared in new editions of leading anatomical atlases and textbooks, including Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy, even though it was originally available only as a draft and the final version is different. We believe that updated and extended versions of anatomical terminology are important and they can be a powerful tool in communication between anatomists and other specialists around the world. In general, the new version uses more precise and adequate anatomical terms and many segments, including the part dealing with the nervous system, which is also known as the Terminologia Neuroanatomica, have been considerably improved. Nevertheless, some segments have not been extended or modernised, while other parts have been modified considerably, thereby posing a challenge to those who prefer the traditional version of Latin terminology because a number of official names for bones, muscles, organs and blood vessels have been changed. Whilst most of these changes seem to be inspired by a long anatomical tradition and thus cannot come as a surprise to anyone in the field, other modifications are characterised by terminological innovativeness. Selected new and unexpected changes that might cause confusion among those who prefer traditional anatomical terms and definitions are discussed here.
