Tips for learning part 2: medical terminology
The emergence of modern muscle names: the contribution to the foundation of systematic terminology of Vesalius, Sylvius, and Bauhin
Excerpt: "Muscle names with ordinal numbers
For the other 153 muscles, Vesalius gave an ordinal number to each muscle. Using these ordinal numbers, he added a different name for each muscle that belonged to the same group. For example, he distinguished the four muscles that move the scapula with ordinal numbers from the first to the fourth: "primus" (the first), m. pectoralis minor; "secundus" (the second), m. trapezius; "tertius" (the third), m. levator scapulae; and "quartus" (the fourth), mm. rhomboidei (Vesalius 1543; Vesalius et al. 1999)."
