Health Across History: Exploring the Relationship Between Anatomical Sciences and Public Health
The relationship between anatomy and public health is usually described as parallel progress in two fields. This review argues for a stronger and more specific claim: population‐level interventions have historically become possible only ...

Composite Indices in Anatomy Education Research: Reproducibility as a Minimum Requirement
Reproducibility is a minimum requirement for composite indices in anatomy education. Sharma et al. recently introduced the Pedagogical Visualization index (PVI) in this journal, a composite of knowledge gain, engagement, and perceived cl...

Continuity‐Preserving Oral and Maxillofacial Anatomy (C‐ POMA )
Traditional anatomical investigation has largely relied on progressive separation of tissues into discrete anatomical entities. Although this approach has been fundamental to modern anatomy, tissue separation may disrupt structural relat...

Epistemological Anatomy: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Anatomical Knowledge
Anatomy is often regarded as settled knowledge. Yet anatomical propositions differ enormously in their evidentiary foundations, while textbooks and atlases frequently present them with similar certainty. How, then, does an anatomical obs...

Evolution of the Use of Terminologia Anatomica in Human Dissection Studies: Between Standardization and Tradition—A Literature Review
With the publication of Terminologia Anatomica 2 (TA2) by FIPAT, efforts to unify and standardize the nomenclature used in the teaching and dissemination of human anatomy have been strengthened. However, the persistence of obsolete and a...
