To my knowledge, this is the only application available anywhere that provides digital access to the terms of TA1. There are those that prefer the terminology of this version to the more recent TA2. There is always a cost to the process of updating anatomic terminology. It can be confusing to encounter the same entity having different names in different sources. Some have argued that the terms in TA1 were well established by decades of usage and that some of the changes in TA2 are gratuitous. Many have not been embraced by the medical community at large.
