NOMINA EMBRYOLOGICA VETERINARIA INTRODUCTION
GUIDELINES
The principles of the nomenclature used in the Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria (N.E.V.) are the
same of those of the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (N.A.V.) and Nomina Histologica (N.H.):
1. Aside from a very limited number of exceptions, each morphological concept should be
designated by a single term.
2. Each term should be in Latin in the official list, but the morphologists of each country are free
to translate the official Latin terms into the language of instruction.
3. Each term should be as short and simple as possible.
4. The terms should be easy to remember and should have, above all, instructive and descriptive
value.
5. Structures that are closely related topographically should have similar names, e.g. Gonada,
Arteria gonadalis, Vv. gonadales.
6. Differentiating adjectives should generally be opposites, as major and minor, superficialis and
profundus.
7. Terms derived from proper names (eponyms) should not be used.
Comparable or homologous structures are listed subsequently and/or separated by a comma, e.g.
Dermis unguiculae, ungulae, cornus.

NOMINA EMBRYOLOGICA VETERINARIA INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The first veterinary anatomists to consider compiling a Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria (N.E.V.)
were members of a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology of the International Committee on
Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.). The Subcommittee on Histology and
Embryology was formed in 1965 at the 7th General Assembly of the World Association of
Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.) in Giessen (Germany). Professors G. Godina (Italy), E. Kleiss
(Venezuela), P. Walter (Germany) and A.F. Weber (U.S.A.) were the founding members; Prof.
Weber later agreed to assume the chair.
At the 8th General Assembly of the W.A.V.A., in Alfort/Paris (France) in 1967, Prof. J. Tehver
(Estonia) joined the subcommittee which meantime had divided into Cytology, Organology, and
Embryology groups. Unfortunately, the minutes did not record who belonged to or chaired the
embryology group.
At the 9th General Assembly of the W.A.V.A. in Mexico City (Mexico) in 1971, Prof. E. Kleiss
reported having reviewed the Nomina Embryologica (N.E.) compiled by embryologists in human
medicine and found them not to conform sufficiently with the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria
(N.A.V.). Thus it became necessary to form a Subcommittee on Veterinary Embryology of which
Prof. Kleiss assumed the chairmanship. Professors R. Barone (France), K. Donat (Germany), H.E.
Evans (U.S.A.) and A.Weber (U.S.A.) were the members of the new subcommittee, the first formal
group to deal exclusively with veterinary embryological terms. Prof. Weber was active in
maintaining liaison with the Subcommittee on (human) Embryology of the International
Anatomical Nomenclature Committee (I.A.N.C.) of which he was also a member.
The minutes of the 10th General Assembly of the W.A.V.A. in Thessaloniki (Greece) in 1975
report that the Subcommittee on Veterinary Embryology "had difficulties" compiling a list of
terms. The I.C.V.A.N. voted to dissolve the Kleiss subcommittee and appointed a new
Subcommittee on Veterinary Embryology chaired by Prof. R. McClure (U.S.A.) and proposed
Professors N. Björkman (Denmark), C. Czarnecki (U.S.A.), W.O. Sack (U.S.A.), K.-U.
Thiedemann (Germany) and A. Weber (U.S.A.) to be members.
At the 11th General Assembly of the W.A.V.A. held in Moscow (U.S.S.R.) in 1979, only one
member of the Subcommittee on Veterinary Embryology (Prof. A. Weber) was present. It was
reported that the work of the subcommittee was progressing and that a report would be submitted to
the 12th General Assembly the following year.
At the 12th General Assembly of the W.A.V.A. in Mexico City (Mexico) in 1980, during the
reorganization of the I.C.V.A.N., the Subcommittee on Veterinary Embryology was dissolved and
replaced by a more independent International Committee on Veterinary Embryological
Nomenclature (I.C.V.E.N.). Prof. H.E. Evans (U.S.A.), who was then President of the W.A.V.A.,
in 1983 appointed Prof. P. Mann (Canada) interim Chairman of the I.C.V.E.N.
Interim Chairman P. Mann in the years that followed recruited several veterinary anatomists to
serve on the committee, resulting in October of 1984 in the following membership: M. Fallding
(Canada), W.H. Gernecke (South Africa), W. Latshaw (Canada), G. Michel (Germany), W.O. Sack
(U.S.A.), and P. Mann (Interim Chair, Canada); Prof. Latshaw agreed to be interim Secretary of the
Committee.

NOMINA EMBRYOLOGICA VETERINARIA INTRODUCTION
In August of 1984 two veterinary anatomists from Budapest, Professor G. Fehér and Dr. T. Fanesi
(not members of the I.C.V.E.N.), distributed the first two parts of a typewritten list of
embryological terms titled Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria. Part I (Embryogenesis) comprised
Biogenesis, Reproductio, and Gametogenesis; Part II (Morphogenesis) comprised Blastogenesis,
Membranae fetales, and Histogenesis. The list, which subsequently was distinguished as Nomina
Embryologica Veterinaria Hungarica (N.E.V.-Hung.), induded many comparative and avian terms
and was intended to be illustrated later. Late in 1984 and in 1985 Professors G. Fehér (Hungary),
N. Pospieszny (Poland), and S. Updike (U.S.A.) joined the I.C.V.E.N.
In 1985 a now nearly complete N.E.V.-Hung. was received by the I.C.V.E.N., again including
many comparative and avian terms. In addition to the authors of Parts I and II, Professors G.H.
Krustev (Bulgaria), G. Michel (Germany), and G. Udovin (then U.S.S.R.) are listed as authors, of
whom only Prof. Michel was a member of the official committee.
The official committee (I.C.V.E.N.) being hesitant as to how to deal with the list from Hungary
remained in limbo, and in April 1986 interim Chairman P. Mann resigned.
In August 1987, Prof. W.O. Sack (U.S.A.), at the 15th General Assembly of the W.A.V.A. in
Montreal, agreed to be interim Chairman of the I.C.V.E.N. with the proviso that, because of other
commitments, he could not be fully active in this capacity until 1989. Prof. R. Hullinger, Chairman
of the Coordinating Committee of the reorganized International Committee on Veterinary
Anatomical Nomenclature (C.C.-I.C.V.A.N.), conducted an election among the members of the
embryology committee (I.C.V.E.N.) as a result of which Prof. W. Sack was confirmed Chairman
and Prof. W. Latshaw Secretary. Prof. W.H. Gernecke retired in 1988 while several others joined
the committee which by 1989 was fully active.
It was decided that the official Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria (N.E.V.) would include only the
prenatal structures of those species covered by the N.A.V., and that the veterinary list, wherever
suitable, should follow the terms and their sequence in the Nomina Embryologica (N.E.).
Committee members chose or were assigned portions of the material and submitted lists of terms
they felt should be included in the N.E.V. The Committee was fortunate to be able to refer to the
N.E. that had just been published in 3rd edition, and to the Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria
Hungarica (N.E.V.-Hung.) which had been redistributed in revised form by Prof. G. Fehér of
Budapest, the last installment consisting of Parts I and II only (now illustrated) with him as the sole
author.
The lists received from the committee members were discussed and edited during a two-day
meeting of five committee members in Leipzig (Germany) in 1990 and a five-day meeting, again of
five members, in Ithaca (New York, U.S.A.) in 1991. The first draft of the complete N.E.V.
resulting from these activities was returned to the members of the I.C.V.E.N. and presented to the
members of the Coordinating Committee of the I.C.V.A.N., to authors of veterinary embryology
books, and to several veterinary anatomists with expertise in nomenclature work -26 persons in all-
for comment. Consideration of the comments received from 14 of these resulted in the final
manuscript which was submitted to the W.A.V.A. for approval at that body's 18th General
Assembly in Ghent (Belgium) in 1992. An Editorial Committee, consisting of Professors W.O.
Sack, J. Frewein, and R. E. Habel and appointed by the Coordinating Committee of the I.C.V.A.N.
readied the Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria for printing.
When the first edition of the Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria was published in 1994, the
I.C.V.E.N. consisted of Professors and Doctors W.O. Sack (U.S.A., Chairman), W. K. Latshaw

NOMINA EMBRYOLOGICA VETERINARIA INTRODUCTION
(Canada, Secretary), Y. Eguchi (Japan), G. Fehér (Hungary), D. Julian (Spain), P.H. McCarthy
(Australia), G. Michel (Germany), N. Pospieszny (Poland), G.C. Skerritt (U.K.), G. Udovin,
(Russia), N.J. van der Merve (South Africa) and H. Wissdorf (Germany). In the Preface of the first
edition of the Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria, the Editorial Committee gratefully acknowledged
the contributions of Prof. G. Fehér (Hungary) and his group of East European embryologists for
allowing the use of Nomina Embryologica Veterinaria Hungarica, and the work of the
Subcommittee on Embryology of the International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee
(I.A.N.C.), especially in regard to DYSMORPHIA (N.E., 3rd. ed.) whose terms were adopted with
only slight modification.
At a work meeting of the Coordinating Committee of the I.C.V.A.N. on July 31, 2003 in Knoxville
(U.S.A.), Prof. W.O. Sack requested to be relieved of his duties as Chairman of the I.C.V.E.N after
serving in this committee for almost three decades. Prof. P. Simoens (Ghent, Belgium) was
appointed as interim Chairman and was entrusted with the task of editing the Nomina
Embryologica Veterinaria for publication on the website of the W.A.V.A. During the subsequent
22nd General Assembly of the W.A.V.A. on August 2, 2003, this proceeding was approved and
Prof. em. W.O. Sack was thankfully acknowledged for his lasting efforts and excellent
contributions to the activities of the I.C.V.E.N.
In 2005, the list of members of the I.C.V.E.N. was updated. Several longstanding members had
resigned, including de Professors Y. Eguchi (Japan), W.K. Latshaw (U.S.A.), P.H. McCarthy
(Australia) and H. Wissdorf (Germany). On June 21, 2005 we were informed of the passing away
of Prof. W. O.Sack who had served as President of the W.A.V.A and I.C.V.E.N for many years.
Actual membership consists of Professors and Doctors P. Simoens (Ghent, Belgium, Chairman),
I.A. Constantinescu (Columbia, USA), P. Cornillie (Ghent, Belgium); G. Fehér (Budapest,
Hungary), C. Knospe (München, Germany), G. Michel (Leipzig, Germany), C. Pfarrer (Giessen,
Germany), N. Pospieszny (Wroclaw, Poland) and A. Vodenicharov (Stara Zagora, Bulgaria).
For the preparation of the second edition of the N.E.V., a few typographic and linguistic errors
were corrected (e.g. M. sphincter pupillae, Gemma caudalis) and some additional headers were
added (e.g. Columna vertebralis, Lingua, Hyperchromia). Furthermore, several proposals for
corrective and adaptive changes have been discussed and approved by the I.C.V.E.N. in 2005.
These changes are included in the present edition and are described in the explanatory notes
following the list of terms. In accordance with the decisions made during the General Assemblies
of the W.A.V.A. in Lyon (France, 1999) and Knoxville (Tenessee, U.S.A., 2003), this new edition
of the N.E.V. will not be produced in a printed form, but is published in the world wide web at the
website of the W.A.V.A. The use of this novel, inexpensive and universal channel of information is
intended to enhance the application of the uniform and precise nomenclature which has been
developed by the efforts of the numerous members of the I.C.V.E.N. over the past four decades. It
will also facilitate prospective revision and updating of the list of terms, which will be inevitable
due to the large amount of new information and insights resulting from current developmental
biologic research.

7
Compactio is a newly introduced term to name the event in early cleavage-stage mammalian embryos,
during which blastomeres become tightly joined, maximizing their contact with one another and forming a
compact ball of cells. The process of compaction is readily visible in in vitro cultured Morulae and Blastulae
(Spheroidea) and is an important criterion for assessing pre-implantation embryos.
8
Expansio nodi embryonici. The stretching of the embryonal node.
9
Plica limitans is the amniotic fold which rises at the periphery of the Sulcus limitans disci embryonici and

textbook of veterinary embryology.
15
Ala ossis presphenoidalis [prae-]. This structure may have contributions from pharyngeal arch cartilages.
16
Cartilago physialis is the plate of growing and calcifying cartilage between the Epiphysis and the
Metaphysis. This term replaces Lamina epiphysialis of the first edition to comply with N.A.V. and N.H.
17
Musculatura vasorum. Except the musculature of the aortic arch which originates from neural crest.
For the remaining vessels see Systema vasculare (p. 15).

Septum intermedium is the trabecular structure that divides the single Canalis atrioventricularis communis
into a right and a left atrioventricular canal as the growing edges of the Tubera endocardialia atrio-
ventricularia meet and fuse. This septum provides a base upon which the interatrial and interventricular septa
can fuse to completely separate the right and left atria from each other and the right and left ventricles from
each other, respectively.

Foramen interventriculare primum. This becomes the Ostium aortae.
27
Foramen interventriculare secundum. Obliterated when the endocardial cushion forms the membranous
part of the interventricular septum.
28
Septum atrioventriculare is a small membranous septum between Atrium dextrum and Ventriculus sinister,
situated dorsal to the base of Cuspis septalis of Valva atrioventricularis dextra. Defective development of this
septum leads to a congenital defect that has been described occasionally in domestic animals.
29
Septum aorticopulmonale is listed twice as it is formed by the bulbar and truncal aorticopulmonary ridges.

NOMINA EMBRYOLOGICA VETERINARIA ANNOTATIONES
41
Oculus. In order to harmonize the lists of N.A.V., N.H. and N.E.V., several changes were made in the
terms listed under the header Oculus. However, there are still a number of inconsistencies, such as the origin
of M. sphincter pupillae and the nomenclature of the ganglion layers of the retina. Furthermore, several
particularities of retinal development, including the formation of a marginal and neuroblastic layer, and the
subsequent subdivision of the neuroblastic layer by a transient layer [of Chievitz] are not yet covered
adequately.
42
Neurectoderma opticum is a novel term to situate the origin of the retina.
43
Stratum nervosum is a newly introduced term adopted from N.A.V. and N.H. It denotes the retinal portion
that develops from the inner layer of the optic cup and differentiates into a multilayered arrangement of nerve
cells that transform light stimuli into nerve impulses for the optic nerve. The Stratum nervosum forms the
inner part of the Pars optica retinae and extends posterior to the Ora serrata.
44
Epithelium nonpigmentosum is a term adopted from N.H. and replaces the former term Epithelium ciliare
of the first edition of N.E.V.
45
Epithelium pigmentosum is a term adopted from both N.A.V. and N.H. and replaces the former term
Epithelium iridicum of the first edition of N.E.V.
46
Stratum pigmentosum retinae. The former term "Stratum pigmentosum" is made more specific by adding
the genitive "retinae" in conformity to N.A.V. This pigmented layer of the retina develops from the outer
layer of the optic cup and forms the outer part of the Pars optica retinae.
47
Epithelium pigmentosum is a term adopted from N.H.
48
Mesenchyma camerae aquosae, Camera aquosa. Camera aquosa comprehends Camera anterior et Camera
posterior bulbi of the N.A.V.
49
Tunica interna. Corresponds to the Endomeninx of the brain.
50
Tunica vasculosa bulbi [Uvea] is composed of three parts, viz. Choroidea, Corpus ciliare and Iris. The
alternative term Uvea is added as an official synonym in order to be conform with N.H. and because this term
is often used in ophthalmology when describing clinical disorders such as uveitis.
51
Choroidea [Chorioidea]. This newly introduced term is adopted from N.A.V. and N.H. Its Lamina
pigmentosa, however, is not identified in N.A.V. nor in N.H.
52
Tunica externa. Corresponds to the Dura mater of the brain.
53
Ectoderma opticum is a novel term introduced to situate the origin of the anterior corneal epithelium.
54
Incus (pleraque), Malleus (plerusque), Stapes (partim). Chimeric studies in birds (there are no data for
mammals) indicate that the footplate of the stapes comes from the cartilage of the otic capsule, whereas the
shaft and distal limbs of the stapes come from neural crest tissue of the second pharyngeal arch.
55
Pili. The term Lanugo is deleted in the present edition of N.E.V. because there is no evidence that this hair
type is present in domestic mammals.
56
Saccus vitellinus trilaminaris. Persists in the dog and horse.
57
Villi chorii primarii, secundarii, tertiarii. The first edition of N.E.V. only listed Villi chorii primarii which
are entirely ectodermal. Villi chorii secundarii are composed of an ectodermal surface surrounding a

mesenchymal core. Villi chorii tertiarii consist of an ectodermal covering around a mesenchymal core which
contains allantoic (umbilical) blood vessels.
58
Bracteolae amnioticae. Amniotic plaques.
59
Denudatio. In veterinary embryology the term Denudatio refers to the process by which the expanding
blastocyst erupts through the Zona pellucida. This hatching process (in German: "Ausschlüpfen") is
necessary to allow maximal expansion of the pre-implantation embryo and its adherence to the uterine wall.
In reproductive research, however, the term "denudation" is used for the removal of the cumulus oöphorus
follicle cells surrounding the oocyte. This process occurs in vivo in the uterine tube and is performed in vitro
by means of a denudation pipette or enzymatically.
60
Phasis conjunctionis. Attachment phase.
61
Placenta labyrinthica is an intricate interdigitating placental system formed by chorionic and endometrial
lamellae in some species including carnivores and rabbits. The chorionic villi obtain a labyrinthine
arrangement because they branch in a lamellar or foliate manner to the extent that there is extensive overlap
and fusion of the adjacent branches.
62
Placentomus. A placentome is a separate unit of the placenta of ruminants, consisting of a maternal part
(uterine caruncle) and a fetal part (chorionic cotyledone).
63
Haematoma [haematoma] marginale. Marginal hematomes are present in the carnivore placenta at the
borders between the Zona placentaria and the Zona paraplacentaria.
64
Tumor monstruosus. This structure is often designated by alternative terms such as Globosus amorphus,
Mola, Acardia, Anideus, Chorioadenoma and Choriocarcinoma.
65
Junctio media thoraco-epigastrica. This novel term replaces the former term Junctio media thoraco-
gastrica, indicating the body wall regions that are fused.
66
Corpora conjuncta. As in conjoined twins.
67
Craniosynostosis. This term replaces the term Craniosynotosis of the first edition, because it is far more
descriptive and more frequently used.
68
Hypoplasia prosencephali is a congenital condition observed in calves.
69
Otognathia is a congenital disorder characterised by the presence of a rudimentary accessory mandible at
the auricular base. It is most commonly encountered in sheep and to a lesser degree in calves.
70
Hypoplasia choroideae [chorioideae]. Choroidal hypoplasia is a very common disorder observed in dogs,
in particular in Collie breeds, and is generally considered to be the essential lesion of Collie Eye Anomaly. In
this recessively inherited congenital ocular syndrome, abnormal mesodermal differentiation results in defects
of the posterior parts of the vascular and fibrous tunics of the globe.
71
Torticollis is a well documented congenital or postnatally acquired disorder ("wry neck") in domestic
mammals, especially in horses.
72
Vertebrae transitoriae. Transitional vertebrae rank among the most common congenital disorders in
domestic mammals.
73
Anastomosis v. portae cum v. cava caudali. Portocaval shunt.
39

74
Schistosoma reflexum. This congenital disorder is frequently observed in domestic animals, especially in
cattle.
75
Meromelia denotes incomplete limb development, viz. the absence of specific parts (e.g. tibia and fibula)
in one or more limbs. It is a more specific term than Peromelia which emphasizes that the affected limb is
short and blunt.
