Keywords: Anatomical nomenclature; Slovak term for thymus
Summary/Abstract: After the term prsná (Engl. mammary), kojenecká (Engl. sackling) and dojčenská (Engl. Sackling) žľaza (Engl. gland), the Slovak nomenclature of human anatomy finally settled on the term detská žľaza (Engl. infant gland) for thymus, which is given in parallel with the Slovakized term týmus. In the nomenclature of veterinary anatomy, only the Slovakized term is used and there are no attempts to create a suitable Slovak term. Nevertheless, the term brzlík, the Slovak equivalent for thymus sometimes appears in non-prescriptive publications, both professional and popular science.
