Terminologia Embryologica
Encyclopedia
The Terminologia Embryologica (TE) is a standardized list of words used in the description of human embryologic and fetal structures. It was produced by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology
on behalf of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists
and recently posted it on the Internet. It has been approved by the General Assembly of the IFAA during the seventeenth International Congress of Anatomy in Cape Town (August 2009).
It is analogous to the Terminologia Anatomica
(TA), which standardizes terminology for adult human anatomy and which deals primarily with naked-eye adult antomy.
It succeeds the Nomina Embryologica, which was included as a component of the Nomina Anatomica
.
It was not included in the original version of the TA.
The Terminologia Embryologica (TE) is a standardized list of words to be used in the description of prenatal human ontogeny, embryologic and fetal structures. It is produced by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.
It is written as a new book from the beginning, and takes into account the TA and the Terminologia Histologica
(TH), which was published in 2008. It is planned to be published in 2010.

Nomina Anatomica
In the late nineteenth century some 50,000 terms for various body parts were in use. The same structures were described by different names, depending on the anatomist’s school and national tradition. Vernacular translations of Latin and Greek, as well as various eponymous terms, were barriers to...
