Terminologia Anatomica

Terminologia Anatomica (TA) is the international standard on human anatomic terminology. It was developed by the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FCAT) and the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) and was released in 1998.^[1] It supersedes the previous standard, Nomina Anatomica.^[2] Terminologia Anatomica contains terminology for about 7500 human gross (macroscopic) anatomical structures.^[3] In April 2011, Terminologia Anatomica was published online by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT.
