Résumé :
|
Nowadays, many medical, dental, veterinary and science undergraduates in English-speaking countries lack a background in the languages of Latin and Greek from which all anatomical terms derive. For this reason, the vast majority of students do not appreciate the meanings of anatomical words which are embedded in their names. This book presents a glossary which takes the word-root of key anatomical terms (including commom prefixes and suffixes), explains their meanings and offers examples of the use of these word-roots in anatomical and other (including everyday English words) contexts. To reinforce anatomical knowledge, descriptions are peppered with questions about related anatomical points. This handy, pocket-sized glossary will be an invaluable aid to anatomy students on medical, dental, veterinary and science courses. Those on nursing or physiotherapy courses may also find this book of benefit to their studies.
