Description:
With 14 streamlined chapters covering essential A&P topics, this mid-sized book
is the perfect fit for a one-semester course in medical terminology. It also serves
as a useful reference for practicing professionals.
Build a strong foundation of medical terminology, step by step
Medical Terminology: A Living Language uses a carefully constructed learning
system to help readers gain a successful grasp of medical language within a real-
world context. Its step-by-step approach introduces the anatomy and physiology
of body systems and their corresponding medical terms, as well as the rules of
using word parts to form medical terms. New exercises and tips give readers the
hands-on practice they need to achieve mastery. Rather than simply memorizing
terms, students will gain the understanding to work with all terminology,
regardless of its etymology or origins, so they can interpret unfamiliar terms they
will encounter in the future.
