Terminologia Histologica

Last updated

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.

Contents

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.

In human anatomy, the metacarpal bones or metacarpus, also known as the "palm bones", are the appendicular bones that form the intermediate part of the hand between the phalanges (fingers) and the carpal bones, which articulate with the forearm. The metacarpal bones are homologous to the metatarsal bones in the foot.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Iris dilator muscle</span> Smooth muscle of the eye

The iris dilator muscle, is a smooth muscle of the eye, running radially in the iris and therefore fit as a dilator. The pupillary dilator consists of a spokelike arrangement of modified contractile cells called myoepithelial cells. These cells are stimulated by the sympathetic nervous system. When stimulated, the cells contract, widening the pupil and allowing more light to enter the eye.

It has been approved by the General Assembly of the IFAA during the seventeenth International Congress of Anatomy in Cape Town.

The Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology (FIPAT) is a group of experts who review, analyze, and discuss the terms of the morphological structures of the human body. It was created by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) and was previously known as the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FCAT) and the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FICAT).

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anatomical terminology</span> Scientific terminology used by anatomists, zoologists, and health professionals

Anatomical terminology is a form of scientific terminology used by anatomists, zoologists, and health professionals such as doctors, physicians, and pharmacists.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Anatomical terms of microanatomy</span> Anatomical terminology is used to describe microanatomical (or histological) structures

Anatomical terminology is used to describe microanatomical structures. This helps describe precisely the structure, layout and position of an object, and minimises ambiguity. An internationally accepted lexicon is Terminologia Histologica.
