Criley - Medical Terminology: Advanced Guide to Examine Key Medical Terms More Deeply

Before anyone tries to memorize some medical terms, it is essential that he / she must learn the fundamental disposition and basis of medical words. It would be difficult for people without the knowledge of Latin and Greek to learn these expressions, since most of them are based on these languages. When students, who wish to enter the medical field, learn some fundamental terminologies, they will be able to separate a word to identify its meaning. In addition to being a good student, it is essential that people are good writers, since there are some words with the same spelling in the medical field, but with different pronunciation and vice versa.

This book teaches medical terminology using a unique combination of anatomy and physiology, word construction principles and phonetic pronunciations of sounds.
