For all one-semester courses in medical terminology in any
institution. Using a consistent, logical, and step-by-step
approach, this book introduces students to the anatomy and
physiology of body systems and the corresponding medical terms
related to them. For each body system, broad coverage of anatomy,
physiology, pathology, diagnostic procedures, treatment procedures,
and pharmacology is provided. The author emphasizes both terms
built from Latin and Greek word parts, and modern English terms,
helping students develop a full working word part vocabulary they
can use to interpret any new term. This edition contains many new
terms, and has been reorganized for more efficient learning. To
eliminate confusion, Word Building tables have been removed from
each chapter and the terms have been distributed throughout the
pathology, diagnostic procedure, and treatment procedure tables,
where they are more immediately relevant to students.

Medical Terminology: A Living Language uses a carefully constructed
learning system to help students master and apply medical language.
Organized by body system, the text places medical terms within the
context of basic A&P. Instead of memorizing terms, students
learn how to use word parts to build terms so they can interpret
unfamiliar language. To offer context for medical terms, each body
system chapter opens with a list of the pertinent word parts and
their meanings, plus an illustrated overview of the relevant
organs. Through Real-World Applications, you'll get valuable
practice reading real medical records and replacing lay terms with
the proper terms. You'll also interpret case study scenarios that
demo the use of medical terms. The 7th Edition will build your
term-building skills with the help of a comprehensive list of word
parts. New practice problems target spelling, your ability to form
adjectives and your grasp of basic A&P.
