Terminologia Histologica

The Terminologia Histologica (TH) is the controlled vocabulary for use in cytology and histology.^[1]^[2] In April 2011, Terminologia Histologica was published online^[3] by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT.

It was intended to replace . The Nomina Histologica was introduced in 1977, with the fourth edition of Nomina Anatomica.^[4]

It was developed by the Federative International Committee on Anatomical Terminology.
