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.
