title: [Anatomical names of Sulcus in skeleton--analysis of Latin names and comparison with Japanese names].
abstract: For better understanding of the structures of the human body and for possible revision in the future Latin anatomical names of Sulcus in skeleton were analyzed and compared with Japanese anatomical names. The words that follow after Sulcus indicated: 1) the structure that exists in Sulcus, 2) the structure that contains Sulcus, 3) the location of Sulcus, or 4) the structure of which Sulcus enters into the formation. By the comparison between Latin and Japanese anatomical names, some characteristics of each name were made clear and some problems in Japanese names were pointed out.
