This article is the fourth and last part of a series aimed at extending and correcting the anatomical nomenclature. Because of rapid development of internet and using of electronic formats in communication in anatomy, embryology, histology, medical education and clinical medicine it is needed to have an appropriate, precise and concise anatomical nomenclature.

Such tool enables to avoid any potential confusion and possible scientific/medical mistakes. The up-to-date official anatomical terminology, Terminologia Anatomica, is available longer than 20 years and needs to be refined and extended.

The authors have collected and listed 210 terms and completed them with definitions and/or explanations. We aim to start a discussion about their potential incorporation into the new revised version of the Terminologia Anatomica.

This article above all handles with vessels of the human body (arteries, veins and lymphatic system).
