Medical Terminology: A Living Language

By Suzanne S. Frucht, Bonnie F. Fremgen, Suzanne S Frucht, et al.

Book Overview

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.

Customer Reviews

Excellent

I purchased this book purely based on assisting me through my Nursing and I must say that I have no regrets with this book. I actually prefer it over my Anatomy & Physiology book as it is straight to the point and gives the essential information needed as well. The book also played a strong role in my medical terminology. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Exactly what I wanted

I am very happy with this book. I have the audio notes to go with it. It's a perfect system.

Medical & Veterinary Textbooks

This books was absolutely phenomenal! The book was very detailed and was in great condition when I received it. In fact when I received the book, I thought I bought a new book, rather than a used book.
