Medical Terminology Systems

A better way to learn…a word-building and body systems approach!

Body system by body system, an innovative word-building approach covers each word one by one, introducing the word elements first—roots, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes—to enable students to easily decipher medical terminology.

• Full-color illustrations and a streamlined layout guide progress through the text step by step.
• A reading level appropriate for all learners makes concepts crystal clear.
• "Connecting Body Systems” tables identify the interrelationships of each body system to provide a thorough understanding of each system.
• Coverage features all aspects of health care, including A and P and pathology, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and documentation.
• Every body system chapter includes complete medical records, word-building activities, and extensive medical terms to develop students’ critical-thinking skills and familiarity with understanding and using medical language.
