In recent years it's been suggested that eponymous terms be avoided because they're not descriptive and
that they be replaced with more informative terms. The kind of changes, however, occur slowly, because the older terms
are so familiar to everyone . Some people may even use them as opportunities to impart a touch history,also known as “telling stories.”
In this edition, the foremost familiar eponymous terms are retained, with the newer term in parentheses
after the first usages. The list below is provided to point out the extent of reclassification of eponymous terms as
related to basic anatomy and physiology.
