In English-language literature, it is commonly referred as \"sternalis muscle\" or \"rectus sternalis.\" Although the second edition of the Terminologia Anatomica (TA) officially designates \"sternalis muscle\" as the standard term, terminological inconsistencies persist. This study investigated the actual usage of these terms based on a literature review of previously published case reports. We analyzed 77 articles comprising 92 cases, retrieved through PubMed and Google Scholar, examining the types of terms employed, their frequency, regional distribution, and temporal trends. As per the first and second editions of TA, the terms were categorized into two groups: the S group (\"sternalis muscle\" or \"sternalis\") and the R group (\"rectus sternalis\" or \"rectus sternalis muscle\"). Our analysis showed that unilateral cases and male patients were more frequently reported. Regionally, the highest number of reports originated from Asia. The frequency of S group usage exceeded that of R group usage by scale factors of 1.6, 2.3, and 3.8 in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, and North America, respectively. Furthermore, S group term usage increased after the release of the first edition of TA (TA1) and stabilized following the release of the second edition (TA2). These findings suggest that the TA-compliant term \"sternalis muscle\" has become dominant in English-language literature, supporting standardized anatomical nomenclature and facilitating consistent communication among anatomists and clinicians. This framework may also serve as a model for standardizing terminology related to other anatomical variants.</p>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145480585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Claude Gillot revived the approach for the study of the venous system by combining green‑latex infusion with post‑dissection vein painting (“colored segmentation”) to enhance anatomical education. To detail Gillot’s injection technique, evaluate its technical reliability, 400 fresh lower limbs (200 donors, mean age 75 years; Centre du Don des Corps, Paris) were irrigated with warm soapy water and injected via an ankle 19‑G butterfly into the great saphenous vein with filtered green latex (120–150 ml; 20 ml syringe; 20–30 kPa). Proximal femoral venous drainage prevented reflux. After 24 h polymerization the limbs were dissected; venous segments were painted according to a seven‑color palette. Patency, leakage and dissection time were recorded. Three exemplary specimens were photogrammetrically documented. Overall venous patency reached 93% with minimal segmental leakage (mean < 2 cm per limb). Dissection time per lower limb averaged ten hours. Gillot’s colored‑segmentation protocol provides a vivid, dependable and inexpensive platform for teaching and research in venous anatomy. Its flexibility and compatibility with digital capture surpass many contemporary embalming or silicone‑based perfusion techniques. Future work should integrate three‑dimensional models into virtual‑reality curricula and quantify learning outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"101 1","pages":"102 - 107"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12565-025-00907-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145450452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Progress in the human brain has been slower, due to technical challenges and the problem of tissue availability from donors that underwent epilepsy or tumor surgery. The present manuscript is in part an overview of the geometry of synaptic boutons in surgical biopsy samples taken from human temporal lobe neocortex (‘hTLN’). Here, the number, size, and shape of active zones (the equivalent of functional neurotransmitter release sites) and the three functionally defined pools of synaptic vesicles were quantified, with comparisons to the same parameters in experimental animals. High-resolution TEM tomography further allowed new insights concerning the readily releasable pool of synaptic vesicles, one of the key structural elements in synaptic transmission and plasticity. The quantitative 3D models of synaptic boutons provide the basis for numerical and/or Monte Carlo simulations of various signal cascades underlying synaptic transmission that at least in humans are still only partially accessible for experiment. In a second focus, we provide a step-by-step walk-through with illustrations of basic methodology for tissue preparation and analysis, for both TEM and FIB-SEM, including a thorough discussion of the main advantages and disadvantages of the several techniques and the particular challenge of working with human tissue.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7816,"journal":{"name":"Anatomical Science International","volume":"100 :","pages":"480 - 497"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s12565-025-00900-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145124133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, detailed anatomical studies on the transverse facial artery remain scarce. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the anatomical variations, depth, branching patterns and clinical significance of the transverse facial artery (TFA) using both cadaveric dissection and computed tomography angiography (CTA). This study employed a dual-modality design, combining cadaveric dissection of 40 hemifaces and computed tomography angiography of 180 hemifaces. Parameters analyzed included the artery's origin, course, length, depth from the skin surface, and branching pattern. The transverse facial artery was classified according to its origin, branching, and topographic course. In cadaveric specimens, a single transverse facial artery was present in 87.5% of cases, most commonly originating from the superficial temporal artery (90%) and less frequently from the external carotid artery (5%). Imaging revealed a single artery in 91.1% of cases, with 83.3% originating from the superficial temporal artery, 3.9% directly from the external carotid artery, and 12.8% from its bifurcation. Six branching types and three course-based zones were defined, with the superior zone being the most frequent (65%). The artery was significantly deeper in the inferior zone (p < 0.05). In this study, we report for the first time the measurement of the depth of the TFA from the skin surface, with a mean value of 10.54 mm.
