Medical Terminology: A Living Language uses a carefully constructed step-by-step learning system to help you master and apply medical language. Organized by body system, the text places medical terms within an A&P context. Instead of memorizing terms, you'll learn how to 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. Additionally, a new Medical Care section discusses the study and treatment of diseases.
