Summary

Illustrated Guide to Medical Terminology was written to make learning medical terminology enjoyable for every learner! The learner-friendly approach of this book is simple - ?Read, Look and Listen in order to Speak and Write?. This means that you first read the text and then look at diagrams corresponding to the material. You are often asked to write the names of anatomy parts on the diagrams. At the end of each chapter, complete the review exercises. Listen to terms from the chapter pronounced on the accompanying FREE audio cd. Say the terms aloud and then write them down. This process of reading the text, looking at the diagrams, writing in the structure names, completing the review exercises, listening to and repeating the correct pronunciation of terms, and finally writing the terms down on paper maximizes your learning experience! This well-illustrated book is ideal for all types of learners but especially those whose first language is not English, as well as visual and auditory learners.
