Answer:

Anatomical terminology is a way of scientific terminology common to anatomists, zoologists, and health professionals such as doctors e.g. the word "occipital" is more direct and straightforward than certain phrase and words as "the back of the head.”

It involves the use of some unique words, suffixes, and prefixes obtained from Ancient Greek and Latin.

THE MAIN PURPOSE IS TO ALLOW FOR CLEAR COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS.
