A systematic approach to breaking down the parts of medical terms is used, allowing readers to grasp basic medical concepts and apply critical thinking skills when faced with new and unfamiliar medical terminology. Chapters progress from basic terminology related to anatomical positioning and landmarks, to body systems, and then to species specific terminology. Additionally chapters review lab tests, procedures, and treatments. User friendly appendices, organize medical word parts and abbreviations for the learner. To engage the reader, the third edition offers expanded color photos and art work, as well as additional terms. New to this edition, StudyWARE offers students the opportunity to practice learning terms using games such as crossword puzzles and hangman, answering multiple-choice questions, and hearing terms in an audio bank for pronunciation practice and for spelling bee activities
