Abstract
Although not all authors agree that Terminologia Anatomica merits special attention, any type of scientific terminology should be clear, exact, logical, coherent and worldwide accepted. A precise definition of every anatomical term is also crucial. New changes have recently been approved by the Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology as the previous version of terminology required minor revisions. This situation offers an opportunity to take a closer look at these new and interesting modifications. It turns out that selected traditional terms have been excluded from the list of official anatomical names. Furthermore, many changes have been introduced to modernise the Terminologia Anatomica. Nevertheless, the new version of anatomical terminology has both strengths and limitations, which warrants further refinement.
