The Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology (FIPAT) is a group of experts who review, analyze, and discuss the terms of the morphological structures of the human body.
This Committee was created in 1989, at the XIII International Congress of Anatomists, held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).
The professionals involved are renowned professors and researchers with knowledge of medical terminology.
They hold periodic meetings in different countries on a rotating basis, where they study morphological terminology: anatomical, histological and embryology of the human being.
The main objective is to study the problem of morphological terms and its possible solutions.
