-Each term should be in Latin in the official list, but the anatomist of each country are free to translate the official latin terms into the language of instruction.
-Structures that are closely related topographically should have similar names. For example: Arteria femoralis, Vena femoralis, Nervus femoralis etc.
-Differentiating adjectives should generally be opposites, as major and minor, superficialis and profundus
-Terms derived from proper names should not be used.
