Abstract The testes and epididymis are traversed by a system of tubules in which sperm cells are generated, matured, nourished, and transported. Among these are the efferent ductules, which connect the rete testis to the duct of the epididymis. In the Terminologia Anatomica (TA), the efferent ductules are assigned to the testicles, while numerous ...

Anat Sci Educ
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many.

Cones and consequences: the false dichotomy of conifers vs broad-leaves has critical implications for research and modelling. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary In plant science research and modelling, particularly from the northern hemisphere, the terms ‘needle‐leaved’ and ‘conifer’ along with ‘broad‐leaved’ and ‘angiosperm’ are often used synonymously, creating the false dichotomy that conifers are needle‐leaved and angiosperms are broad‐leaved.

A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

Pulmonalis or Pulmonaris? It's Elementarius, My Dear Watson

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The adjectival suffix ‐alis and its allomorph ‐aris are very common in the anatomical nomenclature; however, rules governing differential usage, such as ‐aris substituting for ‐alis following an ‐l‐, leave many exceptions. Here, we report an empirical study of 985 adjectives with ‐alis and ‐aris suffixes used in Terminologia Anatomica (2nd ed.)

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The pterygomandibular raphe (PMR) has traditionally been described as a fibrous or tendinous band connecting the bucinator (BM) and superior pharyngeal constrictor (SPCM) muscles. However, recent evidence has questioned its existence. This study aimed to reevaluate the anatomy of the pterygomandibular region by preserving fascial continuity ...
