BNA was a result of tremendous work of a commission of the German Anatomical Society (Anatomische Gesellschaft). The International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) was founded in 1903, and started to work on a revision of the BNA from 1905. But the work slowed down and the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland published its own nomenclature called Birmingham Revision (BR) in 1933. The German Anatomical Society produced its own revision, called Ienaiensia Nomina Anatomica (INA) in 1935, which tended Human morphological terminology is daily used to the veterinary anatomy, preferring the by many groups of people: scientists, physicians, horizontal-position-of-the-trunk description.

  • The Standardisation of Anatomical, Histological and Embryological Terminology in Translating English-Based Anatomy Textbook Into Indonesian
    THE STANDARDISATION OF ANATOMICAL, HISTOLOGICAL AND EMBRYOLOGICAL TERMINOLOGY IN TRANSLATING ENGLISH-BASED ANATOMY TEXTBOOK INTO INDONESIAN (STANDARDISASI TERMINOLOGI ANATOMI, HISTOLOGI DAN EMBRIOLOGI DALAM MENERJEMAHKAN BUKU TEKS ANATOMI BERBASIS BAHASA INGGRIS KE BAHASA INDONESIA) Wita Anggraini Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Dentistry, Trisakti University Jl. Kyai Tapa (Grogol), West Jakarta 11440 (Campus B) email: [email protected] Abstract Anatomical terminology is derived from classical languages, primarily Latin. Latin was used as the language of science until the early 18th century, so all medical textbooks were previously written in Latin. The existence of Latin in the textbooks of anatomy-histology-embryology in Indonesia becomes a challenge for students, lecturers, and researchers because they often have no background knowledge of Latin. The gap in Latin makes English textbooks preferable. English-based anatomy textbooks have been widely translated into Indonesian, but the translation of anatomical terminology in English has no standardization yet. The translations of anatomical terms can be based on several sources, namely: (1) Nomina Anatomica, Nomina Histologica, and Nomina Embryologica; (2) Terminologia Anatomica (TA), Terminologia Histologica (TH), and Terminologia Embryologica (TE); (3) Absorption language by adopting Latin and writing the anatomical terms in accordance with Indonesian spelling; and (4) Translation from English to Indonesian. The aim of this paper was to initiate the selection and determination of the anatomical terms which should be used in Indonesian in order to translate the English-based anatomy textbooks. Keywords: anatomical terminology, translation, English, Latin, Indonesian Abstrak Istilah anatomi berakar pada bahasa klasik, terutama dalam bahasa Latin. Bahasa Latin digunakan sebagai bahasa ilmu sampai awal abad ke-18, sehingga semua buku teks kedokteran ditulis dalam bahasa Latin.

  • Programa Analítico De La Asignatura Histología Y Embriología
    PROGRAMA ANALÍTICO DE LA ASIGNATURA HISTOLOGÍA Y EMBRIOLOGÍA 1. Presentación general: La asignatura Histología y Embriología se ubica en el 1° semestre del 2° año de la carrera de Odontología. La carga horaria es de 100 horas. Estas horas se distribuyen en dos citaciones semanales de 4 horas cada una durante 18 semanas aproximadamente. Relaciones horizontales: Anatomía General y Bioquímica General Relaciones verticales Ascendentes: Asignaturas del Ciclo Básico Común. Descendentes: Microbiología, Inglés técnico y Biología Bucal. La Histología y la Embriología son ramas de las Ciencias Morfológicas. Para su conocimiento son necesarios estudios previos de Biología Celular, Técnica Histológica y Microscopía y, a su vez, se trata de una disciplina puente para los conocimientos posteriores de Histología y Embriología Bucodental, Fisiología, Anatomía Patológica y Estomatología, éstas últimas dado que la función como la lesión tienen un sustrato tisular o celular. La Histología estudia un nivel de organización biológica en el que las células y los componentes de la matriz extracelular adquieren disposiciones estructurales y funcionales altamente complejas y variadas de las cuales surgen elementos arquitectónicos o fisiológicos para la construcción y funcionamiento de los seres vivos y de niveles jerárquicos superiores de organización: órganos y sistemas. La Embriología tiene como objeto de estudio a la Ontogenia que comprende el conjunto de mecanismos y procesos que contribuyen al desarrollo de los distintos órganos y sistemas del organismo, a partir del momento que inicia su existencia (fecundación) hasta el nacimiento. El conocimiento por parte del alumno de la formación y la morfología funcional de células, tejidos y órganos que tienen relación con las acciones médico/odontológicas es de fundamental importancia para tender a preservar y/o recuperar su normalidad estructural e histofisiológica tanto en el organismo en general como en el sistema bucal específicamente.

  • A Plea for an Extension of the Anatomical Nomenclature: Organ Systems
    BOSNIAN JOURNAL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES REVIEW ARTICLE WWW.BJBMS.ORG A plea for an extension of the anatomical nomenclature: Organ systems Vladimir Musil1*, Alzbeta Blankova2, Vlasta Dvorakova3, Radovan Turyna2,4, Vaclav Baca3 1Centre of Scientific Information, Third Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic,2 Department of Anatomy, Second Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic, 3Department of Health Care Studies, College of Polytechnics Jihlava, Jihlava, Czech Republic, 4Institute for the Care of Mother and Child, Prague, Czech Republic ABSTRACT This article is the third part of a series aimed at correcting and extending the anatomical nomenclature. Communication in clinical medicine as well as in medical education is extensively composed of anatomical, histological, and embryological terms. Thus, to avoid any confusion, it is essential to have a concise, exact, perfect and correct anatomical nomenclature. The Terminologia Anatomica (TA) was published 20 years ago and during this period several revisions have been made. Nevertheless, some important anatomical structures are still not included in the nomenclature. Here we list a collection of 156 defined and explained technical terms related to the anatomical structures of the human body focusing on the digestive, respiratory, urinary and genital systems. These terms are set for discussion to be added into the new version of the TA.

Danko Department of Classics (FS), Faculty of Arts, Pavol Jozef Safárik University in Kosice, and Institute of Anatomy (JD), Histology and Physiology, University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacology in Kosice, Slovakia ABSTRACT The origin of the word lympha in Latin grammar is not entirely clear. Linguisticians The Latin word lympha is derived from make the connection with the adjective the adjective limpidus = clear, transparent, limpidus = clear, transparent, used especially although some Roman grammarians tried to mean clear, pellucid liquid (1). In Roman another derivation from the Greek word for literature the word lympha, more frequently water sprite nymfé, and then the adjective the plural lymphae, was commonly used in lymphaticus meant in Latin “stricken with the sense of clear water, or a source of pure nymph-like anger, gripped by madness.” water. Isidor of Seville, polyhistorian at the Thomas Bartholin, discoverer of the lymphatic crossover from antiquity to medieval times, system, was the first to use the word observes that Limpidum vinum, id est lymphaticus for new veins, because the liquid perspicuum, ab aquae specie dictum, quasi in them was watery. This term was accepted lymphidum; lympha enim aqua est (2), i.e., into the Basiliensia Nomina Anatomica but limpid wine is that which is translucent, this did not mean the end of attempts at named for its watery look, as if it were terminological changes, probably in an effort lymphidum, for lympha is water. The Roman to eliminate the incorrect connotations based grammarian Varro however tried to derive on the original understanding of this adjective.
