Abstract

Anatomical terminology consists of a set of different words used in anatomy and expressing certain meaning. These are divided into national (Russian, German, English, Azerbaijani, etc.) and international (Latin and Greek) terms. Human organism systems include more than 5,000 anatomical terminology. Understanding some of these terms and translating our language is difficult. Taking this into consideration, we decided to give some information on some historical and mythological terms.
