This text combines the study of word parts with a review of anatomy and physiology to provide a reference of medical terminology. It emphasizes etymology and particularly, word parts, detailing the rules governing their use to enable the understanding of medical terms. An IBM-compatible software program accompanies the text to aid pronounciation, self-assessment and study. Commonly used prefixes, suffixes, and work parts are listed, with illustrations of the human body detailing bones, muscles and anatomical features. There are exercises in each chapter, a revised section on pharmacology and an examination included in the Instructor's manual.
