In April 2011, ''Terminologia Histologica'' was 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
''Nomina Anatomica'' (''NA'') was the international standard on human anatomic terminology from 1895 until it was replaced by '' Terminologia Anatomica'' in 1998.
In the late nineteenth century some 30,000 terms for various body parts were in us ...

It was developed by the
Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.
