Case studies ask you to interpret medical terms used in medical records and to translate everyday language into medical language.
Full-color illustrations encourage you to apply the meaning of word parts by labeling anatomical figures.
Abbreviations tables introduce abbreviated medical terms related to chapter content, and are supplemented with exercises, flashcards, and practice quizzes.
