Summary

Medical Terminology: A Student Centered Approach is a text-workbook designed with the reader in mind. Emphasis is on word building with just enough information about each body system to help the students understand the disease, diagnostic, and surgical terms for each system. Analyzing and defining medical terms is emphasized, as well as building medical terms from roots, prefixes, and suffixes. A variety of exercises presented throughout the chapter rather than at the end of the chapter, are designed to keep the readers interested.
