Contents:
The human body in health and disease -- The skeletal system -- The muscular system -- The cardiovascular system -- The lymphatic and immune systems -- The respiratory system -- The digestive system -- The urinary system -- The nervous system and mental health -- Special senses: the eyes and ears -- Skin: the integumentary system -- The endocrine system -- The reproductive systems -- Diagnostic procedures, nuclear medicine, and pharmacology.
Subject: Simplifies the process of memorizing complex medical terminology by focusing on the important word parts--common prefixes, suffixes and root words--that provide a foundation for learning hundreds of medical terms. Organized by body systems, chapters follow a logical flow of information: an overview of the body system's structure and functions, a summary of applicable medical specialties, and ultimately pathology, diagnostic, and treatment procedures. An expanded section on complementary and alternative therapies reflects the changing role of holistic health care. A convenient table of abbreviations is included at the end of every chapter, while resourceful appendices offer a listing of abbreviations, a table of word parts and their meanings, and a glossary of pathology and procedures.
