Terminologia Embryologica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Terminologia Embryologica (TE) is a standardized list of words to be used in the description of embryologic structures. It is produced by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.[1]

It is analogous to the Terminologia Anatomica (TA), which standardizes terminology for adult anatomy, but the TE was excluded from the first edition of the TA in 1988.[2]

It is based upon the Nomina Embryologica, which was included as a component of the Nomina Anatomica.[3][4]
