Main Article Content

Bernardo Gallego Giraldo

Abstract

The anatomic structures are named in two different systems. On the left side the classic terminology and on the right side the interactional nomenclature (P.N.A.). The surnames are avoided and names are designed upon organ functions, based on the Latin origin of the words, which have been accepted all over the world.
