Master medical terms on your terms! A combination text/workbook,
Exploring Medical Language, 11th Edition provides exercises that
make it easy to build an understanding of medical terminology.
Organized by body system, medical terms are divided into two
categories: 1) Words built from word parts, and 2) Words NOT built
from word parts. Fun and engaging exercises help you first learn
word parts and then learn how to combine the parts into full
medical terms that make sense. For more practice, you can visit an
Evolve website with games, activities, flashcards, and practice
exams. From well-known educators Danielle LaFleur Brooks, Myrna
LaFleur Brooks, and Dale Levinsky, this learning package helps you
gain fluency in medical language and communicate clearly in the
health care setting. Comprehensive coverage of medical terminology
creates a distinction between terms built from word parts, which
are usually based on Greek or Latin, and those terms NOT built from
word parts, which are based on eponyms, acronyms, or terms from
modern language. Systematic presentation provides a foundation of
word parts (prefix, suffix, word root, and combining vowel), then
builds words by combining the parts. Case studies ask you to
interpret medical terms used in medical records and to translate
everyday language into medical language. Full-color illustrations
encourage you to apply the meaning of word parts by labeling
anatomical figures. Abbreviations tables introduce abbreviated
medical terms related to chapter content, and are supplemented with
exercises, flashcards, and practice quizzes. Reviews of word parts
and terms provide the practice you absolutely need to define,
pronounce, and spell medical terminology. More than 400 flashcards
allow you to review word parts whenever and wherever you want.
Interactive exercises and games on the Evolve website provide
endless opportunities to practice building, hearing, and spelling
terms. Medical Terminology Online (MTO) provides accessible,
interactive exercises and supplementary content in a course
companion to help you master the medical terminology presented in
