Medical Terminology: An Anatomy and Physiology Systems Approach with CD-ROM

This new full-color book uses an integrated body systems approach and reader-friendly writing style to teach medical terminology. By tying the vocabulary directly in with the discussion of anatomy and physiology, beginners can more easily understand the purpose and use of the terms they are learning and studying. Best of all, this approach stresses word building rather than memorization of terms. Special-topics chapter includes up-to-date information on emergency medicine, dentistry, the hearing impaired, nuclear medicine, radiology, oncology, organ replacement, and physical therapy. This book is an excellent reference for anyone interested in an occupation in the medical field.
