| description | In article is discussed, from the viewpoint of anatomist, the absence of a "standard" anatomical terminology in Serbian language and the consequences of this fact. After a short overview of the history of the anatomical terminology in the world, the importance of standard anatomical terminology in communication and accurate data exchange in medicine are highlighted. Brief history and the difficulties in the development of anatomical terminology in the Serbian language are presented, and the important role of linguists in its preparation is emphasized. Finally, the reasons why it is necessary to establish a standard anatomical terminology in the Serbian language are given. These reasons are: 1. During the study of anatomy, students encounter new concepts for the first time, which are best explained to beginners in Serbian language; 2. in order to facilitate learning, it is important that texts in anatomy textbooks and from various branches of medicine do not contain different names for the same structures; 3. for entering data into the computers that are now widely used, it is very often necessary to enter the specific terms correctly; 4. general literacy and standardization of professional language should not be neglected, while preserving traditional expressions that patients should also understand; 5. creating a unique terminology avoids arbitrary creation and use of names; 6. finally, the future anatomical terminology in the Serbian language can also serve as an aid to translators in translating to and from Serbian. |
