This was an excellent text book and I really enjoyed it. Answers to chapter exercises are in the back of the book and provide immediate feedback, which facilitates learning. I also particularly enjoyed the accompanying Medical Terminology online lab which featured games and tests to further solidify the learning process. I had fun with this course. I suppose it helps that I really love words of all kinds. :-)

This is an excellent, simple guide to medical terminology. The book offers lots of illustrations that enhance the reader's learning and at the end of each chapter, there are 3 sets of study guides and a glossary of medical terms relevant to that chapter. It covers all 11 body systems as well as the eye, ear, male/female anatomy, mental health, radiology, and oncology. I know a student cannot select their specific textbook for their class, but I highly recommend this edition of Medical Terminology for laymen who wish to expand their knowledge in the healthcare field.
