Overview

Hallmark features of this title

Adding context to medical terminology

  • Body systems chapters cover the function and organs of each system before introducing associated terms.
  • Terminology tables group terms into categories such as pathology, diagnostic procedures and pharmacology. Terms are presented in three columns: term (with pronunciation/abbreviation), word parts (if appropriate) and definitions.
  • Learning aids include sound-it-out pronunciations, color-coded word parts and engaging sidebars.

Hands-on practice

  • Real-World Applications include medical record analysis, chart note transcription and case studies.
  • Practice exercises at the end of each chapter assess spelling, term usage, adjective formation, word building and A&P.
  • Labeling exercises reinforce students’ grasp of anatomical structures.
