The Terminologia Histologica (TH) is the controlled vocabulary for use in cytology and histology. [1] [2] In April 2011, Terminologia Histologica was published online [3] by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT.
It was intended to replace Nomina Histologica . The Nomina Histologica was introduced in 1977, with the fourth edition of Nomina Anatomica. [4]
It was developed by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.
