Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bna Arranged as an Outline of Regional and Systematic Anatomy The Basle Anatomical Nomenclature (the B N A) has been preeminently successful in the simplification of anatomical terminology. From a total of 50, 000 anatomical terms about 45,000 have been eliminated as unnecessary synonyms. As a consequence, anatomical terminology as represented by the B N A now consists of a list of some 5000 simple, unambiguous terms for the macroscopic structures of the human body. This list of terms, intended for common use in the medical schools, is arranged on the basis of systematic anatomy. Doubtless such an arrangement was best adapted to the purpose of bringing about a revision of terminology. On the other hand, it appears obvious that, from the standpoint of practical anatomy, a regional arrangement of these terms in conjunction with their systematic tabulation would greatly extend the usefulness of the B N A. In dissecting laboratories and surgical clinics, the structures represented by the B N A terms are encountered in the various regions of the body not as anatomical systems, but as segments of these systems grouped together in certain definite regional relationships. In attempting to correlate systematic text and cadaver, the one proves almost as difficult to dissect as the other. It appears important, therefore, that the present systematic B N A should be expanded to include a correlated regional arrangement of anatomical terms; an arrangement based upon the sequence in which the structures indicated by these terms may be exposed and demonstrated to the naked eye in actual dissection, thus securing a direct association of the term with the visualization of the structure to which it refers. The present work represents such an attempt and is the outgrowth of several years of laboratory experience in which a regional arrangement of B N A terms in mimeograph form has been given a thorough trial and its usefulness clearly demonstrated. The work is presented in two parts dealing with the B N A terms as arranged, first, on the basis of regional anatomy, and, second, on the basis of systematic anatomy, with numeral indices facilitating cross-references from the one to the other. The regional arrangement is given precedence since it is in their regional relations that anatomical structures are first encountered in practical study. The work also includes a complete series of figures for the surface anatomy and the surface projection of the skeleton for the various regions of the body.
