Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in 2015 (?)
Members of the Anatomical Society who comprise medical practitioners, dentists, vets, scientists and artists. These are all represented in the arms.
The frets in the arms represent neural cells and the roundels within them, stem cells (for the scientists). A chevron is one of a series of bones on the ventral side of the tail in many reptiles and some mammals. The lion, the king of beasts (for the vets), in the crest supports a Rod of Aesculapius (for the medical practitioners) and rests its paw on a skull (with teeth for the dentists).
The supporters are a male écorché and a female nude (for the artists).
The motto ‘ex conformatione usus’ means ‘from structure comes function’.Literature: https://issuu.com/rcsi/docs/anatomy_room_gallery_catalogue and https://www.anatsoc.org.uk/home/history-of-the-anatomical-society/grant-of-arms
