History and the roots of angiology.

The authors present a short historical view of the origin of anatomic terms of some arteries and veins. By analysing the historic anatomic terminology the authors point out that various developmental stages of anatomy had an impact on anatomic language. During the formation of particular terms, instead of prefering the classical languages of Latin and Greek, some terms originated from other languages and have remained in terminology that is used today. (Ref. 7.)

Niels Stensen--prestigious scholar of the 17th century.

The authors present a biography of modest, extraordinary educated Danish scholar Niels Stensen, who gave his life to anatomy, geology and finally to theology. His anatomical studies of salivary glands, lymphatic system, muscles and heart, and also of other organs of human body, based on study of contemporary anatomy classify him among most important scholar of 17th century. The truth, scientific approach and his method of explaining anatomical structures in a connection with physiological notes are original and valid from a todays point of view. (Fig. 3. Ref. 8.)

Anatomic nomenclature by Vesalius.

Our paper deals with the situation of medieval anatomy language in the pre-Vesalian period. It also explains the necessity of terminology reform undertaken by Vesalius in his De humani corporis fabrica. It describes formation principles of the scientific language of anatomy based on pure classical Latin while eliminating Arabic and Greek elements. Emphasis is laid on Vesalius' effort to unify terms as far as their meaning is concerned, to record lexical items and to create a permanent nomenclature in order to eliminate discrepancies in this field of communication. Our paper contains a lot of information on terminology demonstrating Vesalius' language reform and reminding us of his great achievement, for which he is considered a forerunner of anatomy nomenclature codification. (Ref. 5.)

Andreas Vesalius--the reformer of anatomy.

This paper deals with two main topics. The first part provides data on the life of Andreas Vesalius, a scholar and anatomist of the 16th century, and describes the environment in which he lived and worked. It highlights his personality of a great doctor and teacher and points out the importance of his scientific methods and techniques as opposed to speculative methods that were prevalent in the scientific research in those days. The second part of the paper is devoted to the characteristics and description of his famous and, given the times he lived in, grand work called "De Humani Corporis Fabrica", which opened a new epoch in the history of anatomy. Andreas Vesalius is considered to be the founder of the science of anatomy which is based on observation and experience gained by using scalpel on dead bodies of humans. This is how he proved the then valid statements wrong. This complex view of life and work of Andreas Vesalius is aimed at highlighting the milestone which he represents in this traditional science of anatomy that has been conscientiously developed since the Classical times.
