الكاتب: Multiple References

Informative and logical names for parts of the horse ’ s body, as well as positional and directional terms, have evolved through the efforts of nomenclature committees. Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria is the standard reference in veterinary science. Some older terminology is still widely used. For example, the following are acceptable synonyms: navicular bone for distal sesamoid bone, coffi n joint for distal interphalangeal joint, pastern joint for proximal interphalangeal joint, and fetlock joint for metacarpophalangeal joint. It is useful to be familiar with the older terms because many times they are used interchangeably.
