Abstract

Since the first edition of the Korean Veterinary Anatomical Terminology (KVAT) in 1993, the new edition of KVAT has been revised and harmonized with the recent version of the Korean-English Anatomical Terminology (KAT, 1996 and 2005). The Korean Association of Veterinary Anatomists (KAVA) had been decided the new revised edition based on the Japanese-English Veterinary Anatomical Terminology (JVAT, third edition, 2000) at the first. The references had been changed from JVAT (2000) into the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (NAV, fifth edition, 2005) and the Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria (NEV, revised second edition, 2006) except the Nomina Histologica (NH, revised 2nd edition, 1994). Terminologia Histologica (TH), international terms for human cytology and histology, had been published by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FICAT) and approved by the International Federation of Associations of Anatomists (IFAA) at 2008. The histological-related terms have to changed by the harmonization and the unification. It has more perfect Korean spelling standardization system compared with the Korean embryological terms of the fourth edition of the Korean-English Anatomical Terminology (1996) because of lacking the recent revised references in the embryological terms in humans. The fifth edition of the Korean Medical Association: Medical Terminology (KMA-MT) has been published at 2009. The Korean version of the NEV terms has some inadequate terms that should be corrected with the harmonization with KMA-MT (2009). I hope that the harmonization and standardization of the English/Korean of the veterinary anatomical terminology will be useful in the future evolution of terminology.
