خرید و دانلود نسخه کامل کتاب Medical Terminology: An Illustrated Guide 7th (seventh) – Original PDF

Knowledge of medical terminology is fundamental to a
wide variety of health care fi elds. This book is designed
to satisfy the basic learning requirements needed to practice
in any health career setting. In the course of your training
and future careers, you will need to learn thousands of new
terms. The job might be overwhelming if not for learning
the skills of dividing the words into their component parts.
These roots, suffi xes, and prefi xes appear over and over
in different terms but retain the same meanings. Knowing
these meanings will help you defi ne and remember a host of
words. This process is like using a set of building blocks to
assemble different structures. Using a more scientifi c example,
it’s like using the four bases in DNA to code for all the
amino acids needed to make proteins.
After the introductory sections, each chapter begins
with an illustrated overview of a specifi c body system with
defi nitions of the key terms related to that system. Tables
of word parts and exercises on using them follow. Turning
to the abnormal, a section on diseases and treatments is
included, followed by defi nitions of relevant key terms.
The section of supplementary terms includes words and
phrases that are “good to know” if time allows or if someone
is particularly interested in that specialty. The sequence
of the systems chapters differs slightly from that found in
traditional anatomy and physiology books. The organization
emphasizes their clinical importance, starting with the
cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems and continuing
with systems treated in more specialized fi elds, such
as the urinary, reproductive, and musculoskeletal systems.
The chapters can be taken out of order once the introductory
units are completed.
