Abstract

Modern Croatian biomedical terminology is comprised of three parts – Latin terms (lacrimal axis), terms formed by putting together Latin and Croatian terms (lacrimal bone) and Croatian terms (narrow bone), which is why many terms are used in two or more variants. The terminology variants for certain anatomical terms also depend on whether they are used in the context of human or veterinary medicine, as the posture of humans and animals is different. In this paper, some terms used by veterinary surgeons are analysed in their different variants. Among equivalent terms, the recommended terms have been selected by applying
terminology principles and taking into account the alignment of the terms with the standard language and terminology and their acceptance by the professionals concerning their content and prevalence.
