xviii, 670 pages : color illustrations ; 28 cm "Knowledge of medical terminology is fundamental to a wide variety of healthcare fields. This book is designed to satisfy the basic learning requirements needed to practice in any health career setting. In the course of your training and future careers, you will need to learn thousands of new terms. The job might be overwhelming if not for learning the skills of dividing the words into their component parts. These roots, suffixes, and prefixes appear over and over in different terms but retain the same meanings. Knowing these meanings will help you define and remember a host of words. This process is like using a set of building blocks to assemble different structures. Using a more scientific example, it is like using the four bases in DNA to code for all the amino acids needed to make proteins"-- Barbara Janson Cohen, MSEd, Shirley A.
