Terminologia Histologica
Encyclopedia
The Terminologia Histologica is a controlled vocabulary
for use in cytology
and histology
. In April 2011, Terminologia Histologica has been published online by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT.
It was intended to replace Nomina Histologica. The Nomina Histologica was introduced in 1977, with the fourth edition of Nomina Anatomica
.
It was developed by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology
.

Histology
Histology is the study of the microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues of plants and animals. It is performed by examining cells and tissues commonly by sectioning and staining; followed by examination under a light microscope or electron microscope...

Nomina Anatomica
In the late nineteenth century some 50,000 terms for various body parts were in use. The same structures were described by different names, depending on the anatomist’s school and national tradition. Vernacular translations of Latin and Greek, as well as various eponymous terms, were barriers to...
