The Fascial Net Plastination Project
Published in David Lesondak, Angeli Maun Akey, Fascia, Function, and Medical Applications, 2020
A wide variety of perspectives on soft connective tissue exists across disciplines that has contributed to a lack of consensus on the definition of fascia for some time. The Fascia Research Group in Ulm, Germany, suggests that “no area of anatomical science is characterized by such divergent terminology, as is the case in fascia-related connective tissues”.2 Highly respected references such as the Terminologia Anatomica3 and Gray’s Anatomy4 define fascia quite differently, each including and excluding different tissues, making it difficult to find a common language to study and discuss fascia, let alone illustrate it.
Venous anatomy
Published in Joseph A. Zygmunt, Venous Ultrasound, 2020
Duplex ultrasound has especially influenced our understanding of the anatomy of the superficial and deep venous systems of the lower extremities. In 2001, an International Interdisciplinary Committee met to update and refine the Terminologia Anatomica concerning the lower limb veins [3]. In 2005, a follow-up article with extensions, refinements, and clinical applications was published [4], setting the standards which are commonly employed in the international literature today. Some of the most notable revisions are encapsulated in Table 1.1.
Development and anatomy of the venous system
Published in Peter Gloviczki, Michael C. Dalsing, Bo Eklöf, Fedor Lurie, Thomas W. Wakefield, Monika L. Gloviczki, Handbook of Venous and Lymphatic Disorders, 2017
In the last two decades, progress in modern imaging studies, such as with duplex scanning, three-dimensional computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging, has provided improved insight into our understanding of the anatomy of the venous system.1–3 Increasing use of minimally invasive catheter-based therapies has furthermore required a more thorough knowledge of the venous anatomy in order to optimize outcome and minimize thromboembolic complications. Since the current Terminologia Anatomica4 suggests terms that are frequently different from those used in clinical practice, a new international anatomic terminology has been developed in order to avoid confusion for those clinicians who treat patients with acute deep vein thrombosis and chronic venous disease.5–7 International efforts have also resulted in a consensus document on the duplex anatomy of the venous system of the lower limbs.2
Sectorization of the hippocampal formation: Cytoarchitectonics, topography, or vulnerability to hypoxia?
Published in Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, 2022
But the terminology related to these structures also shows some discrepancies: for example, the term hippocampal formation designates either the hippocampal complex to which is added the subiculum (Nieuwenhuys, Voogd, and van Huijzen 2008, 372) or all of these structures plus the entorhinal cortex (Standring 2016, 387). The Terminologia Anatomica, which is supposed to simplify the nomenclature and to clarify once and for all the meaning of terms used in morphological sciences, is unfortunately of very little help. It includes under the term “Hippocampus” the hippocampus proper (or Ammon’s horn, formed by regions I–IV or sectors CA1-C4), the subiculum and its subdivisions (why apart from the prosubiculum?), the fimbria, the layers of hippocampus, and the dentate gyrus with its layers (Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology, 1998, 128).
Foramen caecum medullae oblongatae in the history of anatomical terminology
Published in Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, 2020
František Šimon, Florian Steger
The concept of foramen caecum medullae oblongatae and its term has become a permanent part of human anatomy, and although other terms have been used to denote this anatomical structure during historical development, this term became official in the international anatomical nomenclature. It appeared in the first lexicon of standardized anatomical terminology, Die anatomische Nomenclatur (His 1895, 81); it featured in the latest version of Terminologia Anatomica (1998, 108), as well. The case of the term is similar to other neuroanatomical terms—for example ependyma (Šimon 2016) and decussatio pyramidum (Šimon 2018). There is no consensus regarding the origin of the term, first description of the anatomical structure is not equal to first usage of the term; the term itself has evolved gradually.
On the origin of the term decussatio pyramidum
Published in Journal of the History of the Neurosciences, 2018
Basiliensia Nomina anatomica (Basle Nomina Anatomica; BNA), the first unified anatomical nomenclature, finally coined the expression decussatio pyramidum (His, 1895, p. 81). In the most recent codification, the Terminologia Anatomica of 1998, this term occurs in unchanged form (Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology [FCAT], 1998, p. 108).
