Master medical terminology with every turn of the page! David Allan uses case studies and in-context learning to introduce topics in a meaning way to the reader. Allan provides students with an authentic context for medical terminology by introducing terms in the context of Anatomy and Physiology. Organized by body system, in each chapter, the health professionals associated with each body system are also introduced and defined. This contextual approach uses medical settings and patient cases, promotes student motivation and facilitates active, engaged learning. 2-page spreads present all the material needed to cover a topic, including basic A&P, photos and illustrations, Word Analysis and Definition Tables, and exercises, all pertaining to those 2 pages. Word Analysis and Definition Tables show pronunciations, definitions, and a color-coded break down of word parts.
