[François Chaussier (1746-1828). A vision of the anatomic nomenclature based on education].
François Chaussier (1746-1828) developed an original point of view concerning the anatomic nomenclature teaching and learning. The myology nomenclature proposed by Chaussier was based on a very simple concept: the name of a muscle is composed by its two attachment points. He wanted to make science learning easier for the students; that we can see in his myology nomenclature, his publications and anatomical drawings. His experience is still interesting nowadays.
