Özet:

 Terminologia Anatomica, the successor to Nomina Anatomica, has been the standard in anatomical terminology for more than a hundred years. This study aimed to present an example of the second edition of Terminologia Anatomica structured with a topographic approach and highlighted the importance of presenting Latin anatomical terminology within both regional and systematic anatomy hierarchies. Two researchers first determined which chapters the arm region is in, using the open-access online form of the second edition of Terminologia Anatomica as a guide. Then, they selected the clear terms related to the arm region from these chapters and listed them under the arm title. By comparing the listed terms with each other, it was discussed which terms should be included under the arm heading. There were 7 following chapters related to the arm in Terminologia Anatomica: Anatomia generalis General anatomy, Ossa Bones, Juncturae Joints, Musculi Muscles, Systema cardiovasculare Cardiovascular system, Systema lymphoideum Lymphoid system, and Systema nervosum Nervous system. Furthermore, a total of 121 terms belonging to these sections were determined. Considering the current importance of the topographic approach both in human anatomy and in the clinic, we think that a topographically based Terminologia Anatomica suitable for the flow of these sciences can contribute to guiding the correct use of terminology and improving its accuracy.

 Nomina Anatomicanın ardılı olan Terminologia Anatomica, yüz yıldan fazla bir süredir anatomik terminolojide standart olmuştur. Bu çalışma, topografik bir yaklaşımla yapılandırılmış Terminologia Anatomicanın ikinci baskısının bir örneğini sunmayı amaçlamış ve hem bölgesel hem de sistematik anatomi hiyerarşileri içinde Latince anatomik terminolojiyi sunmanın önemini vurgulamıştır. İki araştırmacı, ilk olarak, Terminologia Anatomicanın ikinci baskısının açık erişimli çevrimiçi formunu bir rehber olarak kullanarak, kol bölgesinin hangi bölümlerde olduğunu belirledi. Daha sonra, bu bölümlerden kol bölgesiyle ilgili net terimleri seçti ve bunları kol başlığı altında listelediler. Listelenen terimler birbirleriyle karşılaştırılarak, kol başlığı altında hangi terimlerin yer alması gerektiği tartışıldı. Terminologia Anatomicada kol ile ilgili 7 bölüm vardı: Anatomia generalis Genel anatomi, Ossa Kemikler, Juncturae Eklem, Musculi Kaslar, Systema cardiovasculare Kardiyovasküler sistem, Systema lymphoideum Lenfoid sistem ve Systema nervosum Sinir sistemi. Ayrıca, bu bölümlere ait toplam 121 terim belirlendi. Hem insan anatomisinde hem de klinikte topografik yaklaşımın günümüzdeki önemi göz önüne alındığında, bu bilimlerin akışına uygun topografik tabanlı bir Terminologia Anatomicanın, doğru terminolojinin rehber olmasına ve daha doğru kullanılmasına katkıda bulunabileceğini düşünüyoruz.
