Terminología Anatómica is currently the international standard for anatomical terminology, and establishes an internationally accepted and unified nomenclature for several anatomical structures. However, International Anatomical Terminology (IAT) is not always used correctly in scientific literature. The purpose of this review is to examine scienti...

Yellow-tufted Honeyeater Lichenostomus melanops was described under four different English names and three Latin binomials by Latham (l801a,b, 1822). Until now, these names were usually thought to be based solely on four watercolours produced during the early years of settlement in Australia, one of which was established by Sharpe (1906) as the 'ty...

... Por otra parte, la función del ligamento lateral externo se observó estrechamente relacionada con lo descrito en la literatura (1,4,5) , siendo ésta darle estabilidad y tensión a la articulación y a la cápsula articular. En cuanto al ligamento estilomandibular, se observaron los componentes del diafragma estíleo, resaltando las inserciones y trayecto del ligamiento siguiendo las referencias referidas en la bibliografía (12,13) . Cabe destacar que no todos los elementos descritos en la literatura clásica fueron observados en los diferentes preparados anatómicos, tales como los ligamentos esfenomandibular y pterigomandibular (también llamado rafe pterigomandibular) debido a la naturaleza y tratamiento de los preparados anatómicos. ...
Objective: Of this study is to describe, based on dissections of anatomical pieces, the anatomical components of the Craniomandibular Joint Complex (CMJC). Materials and Methods: Eighteen half-heads of anatomical preparations belonging to Venezuelan human adults, previously treated with 10% formaldehyde and preserved in Gerdex ® undiluted for 6 months, prior to manual practice, were used. Consequently, the elements were dissected following the protocol of the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Los Andes and particularizing the anatomical pieces in order to broach the different nature of the elements that constitute the CMJC. Results: The anatomical dissection was able to contrast the referred from a theoretical point of view in relation to what can be evidenced in a surgical intervention, illustrating the anatomical content that it has in normal conditions. The elements of the CMJC mostly coincide remarkably with what is described in this research, therefore, the solid knowle

The objective presented in this short communication is the need to analyze anatomical terms related to the temporomandibular joint as noted in the International Anatomical Terminology (IAT) and referring to these, include new terms not present in the IAT, removing the incorrect terms of the IAT and analyzing other terms that are identified in the scientific literature but are not included in Terminologia Anatomica.

En esta comunicación breve se plantea como objetivo la necesidad de analizar los términos anatómicos relaciona-dos a la articulación temporomandibular presentes en Terminologia Anatomica Internacional (TAI) y, en referencia a estos, incluir nuevos términos no presentes en la TAI, eliminar términos no correctos de la TAI y analizar otros términos que son identificados en la literatura científica pero que no están incluidos en Terminologia Anatomica. PALABRAS CLAVE:
The development of a standard anatomical language in Spanish dates back to the early stages of medicine, and its significance lies in the necessity for a common vocabulary to describe the structures of the human body. Anatomists and morphologists have been striving to achieve this goal since the late nineteenth century when the first Anatomical Nomenclature was created in Basel in 1895. Over the years, various versions of the International Anatomical Terminology have been published in Spanish, following the guidelines of the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA). These versions have been produced in partnership with the Spanish Anatomical Society and have aimed to adjust the terms to the Spanish language and linguistic rules. The Ibero-Latin American Symposia on Anatomical, Histological, and Embryological Terminology (SILAT) have embraced the naming of morphological structures, keeping in mind the Latin and Greek roots, while respecting the translations accepted by the linguistic rules of the official languages. These symposia stick to the principles of universality, precision in structure description, and consistency in terminology. Despite more than a century of progress in anatomical terminology, there is a need for frequent revisions and adjustments to anatomical terms, particularly when translating them into various languages and because of the high number of international publications related to anatomy. A shared anatomical language is essential for the study and application of anatomy across various medical practices and in undergraduate education. Finally, the establishment of anatomical terminology in Spanish represents a long history of efforts to create a universal and precise language in this field. Despite advancements, the revision and adaptation of anatomical terms remain a continuous challenge to keep up with scientific progress and ensure effective communication in the field of anatomy.
FUENTES, R.; OTTONE, N.; CANTIN, M. & BUCCHI, C. Analysis of Terms Used in Scientific Literature Referred to Extracapsular Ligaments of the Temporomandibular Joint. Part II: Ligamentum stylomandibulare and Raphe pterymandibulare. Int. J. Morphol., 32(4):1289-1295, 2014. ABSTRACT: The Anatomical Terminology (TAI) is the result of centuries of scientific work to unify the terms referring to the anatomical structures of the human body and facilitate communication between the scientific community. However, its use in the literature has not been fully implemented. The objective of this research was to analyze the literature regarding the correct implementation of the terms relating to stylomandibular ligament and pterigomandibular raphe. A review was performed in anatomy text books and scientific articles. Differences in the terms used were found to describe both pterigomandibular ligament and stylomandibular raphe, and also to describe structures that serve as origin and insertion of these, when compared with the terms established by the TAI in Latin, English and Spanish.
