Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria

The Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria (often abbreviated as NAV) is an standardized nomenclature. It is made by World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (WAVA). It is used as the standard reference for anatomical (zootomical) terminology in the field of veterinary science regarding domestic mammals (domestic birds are regarded in the Nomina Anatomica Avium). It is based on cats, dogs, pigs, cows, sheep, goats, rabbits and horses—horses being their main subjects.[1]
