This workbook teaches modern medical terminology through an examination of its etymological roots in ancient languages. Lessons in the first two units provide a grounding in Greek and Latin, while those in the third and fourth focus on particular body systems (i.e., cardiovascular, digestive, musculoskeletal, etc.). Also included are a lesson on biological nomenclature; indexes of Latin and Greek suffixes, prefixes, and combining forms; and an English-to-Greek/Latin glossary. The third edition covers the most current medical terminology as found in the 19th ed. of Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary . Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
