Description
This market-leading text helps readers understand and learn complex medical terms by dividing them into their component parts, clearly
explaining the meanings of these terms in the context of how the body works in health and disease. Terminology and complex medical processes
are described in an easy-to-understand manner that is readily accessible to learners of all levels. The Language of Medicine brings medical
terms to life with a text/workbook format organized by body systems, offering additional chapters on specific key areas of health care,
such as cancer and psychiatry. Anatomy and physiology sections are generously illustrated in full color and reinforced with exercises
on combining forms and word parts.
