For courses in medical terminology.

Learning medical terminology through an A&P lens

Medical Terminology: A Living Language uses a carefully constructed learning system to help students master and apply medical language. Organized by body system, the text places medical terms within an A&P context. Instead of memorizing terms, students use word parts to build terms, to decode unfamiliar language.

The 8th Edition features a new Professional Profile section at the start of each chapter exploring career options per medical specialty. A reintroduced Special Topics chapter covers medical terms relevant to pharmacology, mental health, diagnostic imaging, rehabilitation, surgery and oncology.
