I know Lesley! The thing is I´m from Perú and there we learn French Anatomy and in the States they use AngloSaxon. I do not know which anatomy is used in Spain, but I would suggest you to find a picture of each and try to match them. I´d love to help some more, but I have to get away from my desk. :)
Note from asker:
Yes, this is the only thing I could figure out. But it's not easy to find references... the acronym appears to be not very commonly used in English. So I wonder if it goes by some other name that's more common in Eng (like we usually say brachiocephalic instead of innominate artery, for example). Thanks.
