The article describes the historical and linguistic origins of the main anatomical terms associated with the digestive system: mouth, lip, tongue, parotid gland, tooth, palate, fauces, uvula, pharynx, esophagus, intestine and parts of small and large intestine, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, duct. Not only their morphemic structure and derivational (including from the point of view of etymology) characteristics, but also the historical context of the appearance of certain terms are considered. The names of the anatomical formations are given in sequential order, that is, from the initial sections of the digestive system to the nal. Preference is given to anatomical terms in Latin, but the most important Greekisms are also considered.
