History and the roots of angiology.
The authors present a short historical view of the origin of anatomic terms of some arteries and veins. By analysing the historic anatomic terminology the authors point out that various developmental stages of anatomy had an impact on anatomic language. During the formation of particular terms, instead of prefering the classical languages of Latin and Greek, some terms originated from other languages and have remained in terminology that is used today.
