Terminologia Anatomica /Ter·mi·no·lo·gia Ana·to·mi·ca/ (TA) (-no-lo´je-ah an″ah-tom´ĭ-kah) [L.] International Anatomical Terminology: the internationally approved official body of anatomical nomenclature, superseding the Nomina Anatomica (NA). Terminologia Anatomica International Anatomical Terminology Anatomy The official body and grand poobah of anatomic nomenclature created by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology and the 56 members of the Intl Associations of
Anatomists–a chucklefest of brainy long-faced coves with serious intent Note The author, at the risk of completely alienating himself from all medicos, calls attention to the fact that English–not Latin–is the lingua franca
of medicine; to stubbornly cling to the belief that anatomic terminology can be written in anything but English is to risk being labelled obsolete and irrelevant. See Nomina Anatomica.
