Building: Medical Vocabulary, A 5th Ed. With Spanish Translatn

Description:
This book provides a comprehensive, yet not-intimidating introduction to medical terminology. The book is organized by body systems and begins with an orientation, using terms users may already be familiar with, then builds upon those terms to the more complex terminology. Each chapter presents concepts and illustrations reinforced by exercises, and ends with comprehensive review exercises.
