Preface to the 5th Edition (2005) In accordance with the decisions of the International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.G.A.N.; General assemblies 1999 in Lyon, France, and 2003 in Knoxville, TN, U.S.A.), this new edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (N.A.V.) will not be produced in a printed form. The 5th edition is published in the world wide web at the website of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.). This is intended to allow a better and less expensive distribution worldwide – and to enhance the use of the N.A.V. This 5th edition of the N.A.V. is in several ways a continuation of the work which was guided for many years by Professor J. Frewein of Zurich, Switzerland, and by Professor R. E. Habel of Ithaka, NY, U.S.A. Both of them served the I.C.V.G.A.N. as chairmen and as members of the editorial committee. Together with other colleagues (see Introduction), Joseph Frewein and Robert Habel elaborated and further developed the principles and criteria of the I.C.V.G.A.N., thus creating the solid basis for a veterinary anatomical nomenclature which has received world wide acceptance. The death of our most honoured colleague Professor J. Frewein in 2003 was a major loss for the veterinary anatomical profession and has deeply saddened the countless colleagues from all over the world whom he has inspired. The 5th edition of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria is respectfully dedicated to Professor Joseph Frewein and to Professor Robert E. Habel Joseph Frewein Robert E. Habel in appreciation and gratitude for the many years of expert work of these outstanding veterinary anatomists. ______________________________________________________________________________iii NOMINA ANATOMICA VETERINARIA (2012) PREFACE International Committee on Veterinary Gross Anatomical Nomenclature Chairmen and members of the Subcommittees of I.C.V.G.A.N.
