You will quickly notice that this book is not arranged like most other medical terminology texts. Others present medical terms within the framework of basic human anatomy and physiology, creating a mini-A&P course. Instead, this book organizes and presents terms by medical specialty. This gives you an immediate window into how the health care world is organized—around medical specialties, and not by organ systems. This is a true introductory-level “essentials” text focusing solely on medical terminology, and on teaching how to construct and translate medical terms. Designed to be fun, accessible, and eye-catching, it guides readers stepby- step toward mastery of relevant word parts, understanding word roots, and assembling terms. To help you learn meanings, correct spelling, pronunciation, and other components of each term, the book contains numerous exercises, tips, and colorful figures for learning and practice. It is flexible enough to be used either in support of lectures, or as a workbook to support independent study.
New for this edition:
• Increased information is provided regarding the medical specialists related to each chapter, including reliable websites for further investigation. • Updated Learning Objectives to reflect higher order skills featured in this text, particularly application of new knowledge and analysis of real-world situations. • Updated and More Diverse Art Program—This new edition showcases even more art than ever before! We have added over 55 new photos of real people, diseases, and conditions related to the chapter content as well as an updated and expanded collection of medical illustrations throughout the text to provide a clearer view of each body system and its related diseases and conditions. We have also strived to include a more diverse array of people to help better reflect the world we live in while also trying to point out areas where skin tone may be important when assessing patient symptoms or diagnosing a condition. As the photos are of actual persons with various diseases, conditions or injuries, it is important to point out that some of these images are graphic and may be potentially disturbing or triggering for some people. • As with every edition of this text, this new fourth edition includes many new medical terms to provide even more information for today’s student, especially regarding the newest technologies and procedures. • Each chapter includes an updated and comprehensive list of combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes used to build terms in the remaining sections of the chapter. • Pronunciations have been added (in parentheses) following terms in either the Vocabulary tables or Word Building answer key. A system of phonetic spelling is used in which the syllables of the term are written out based on how they sound. For example, cardiovascular is phonetically spelled as kar-dee-oh-VAS-kyoo-lar. • Practice Exercises have been reviewed and augmented to further reinforce the Learning Objectives of each chapter while providing a more meaningful way to review each chapter’s content. • Additional entries have been added to each chapter’s Vocabulary section to provide a more comprehensive list of related medical terms not solely composed of word parts. Also, these tables have been broken out into helpful categories to better organize the information. • Updated Appendix II includes a listing of abbreviations and symbols beyond only those presented in the text, and identifies alternate meanings where applicable to reinforce the need for caution when using abbreviations.
