Using a programmed learning format, this user-friendly, four-color book allows
students to learn medical terminology at their own pace. The material is divided
into small, easy-to-read units called frames. Each frame ends with a fill-in
sentence or question that tests readers' understanding of the frame's content.
The text begins with the basic components of medical terminology -- suffixes,
prefixes, word roots, and combining forms -- and presents the material according
to the major body systems.
