ABSTRACT

Anatomical terms and medical terms have influenced each other in Korea. The first author of this paper participated in making the sixth edition of the Korean medical terminology (2019) as an anatomist. Experience of the participation is announced to help other anatomists trim the anatomical terms. While the fifth edition of medical terminology included the new anatomical terms minimizing the Chinese terms and the old ones maximizing the Chinese terms, the sixth edition remained only one of the new or old anatomical terms in principle. To make the new anatomical terms more persuasive and more acceptable in the seventh edition of the medical terminology, it is necessary to refine the anatomical terms with reference to the sixth edition.
