Medical Terminology for the Health Sciences

Medical Terminology for the Health Sciences introduces students to the unique language that is associated with all things related to the human body and health. This book includes many interactive elements to help you grasp new words and their meanings. The foundations that you learn in medical terminology will help you navigate future coursework as you study the complexity of the human body. The goal of this book is not for you to learn Anatomy and Physiology just yet (that is for an A&P class!), but to be able to recognize terms, prefixes, suffixes, and word roots, in order to figure out the meaning of new words that you will encounter down the road.
