Medical terminology with the shortest, most streamlined text! Based on Davi-Ellen Chabner's proven learning method, this book omits time-consuming, nonessential information and helps students quickly build a working medical vocabulary of the most frequently encountered prefixes, suffixes, and word roots. Medical terms are introduced in the context of human anatomy and physiology so that students understand exactly what they mean, and case studies, vignettes, and activities demonstrate how they're used in practice.
