Providing comprehensive coverage of all aspects of medical terminology, along with overviews of anatomy and physiology, this popular text is arranged by body systems and specialty areas.

Using a proven and unique word building approach, it makes learning easy and interesting by presenting important prefixes, word roots, combining forms, and suffixes as they related to each specialty area or body system. Students develop a medical vocabulary in a systematic way. User-friendly in format, with full-color illustrations and photographs, the package also includes a free CD-ROM full of learning activities. See it all at www.prenhall.com/rice.

  • NEW - "Building your Medical Vocabulary"—The cornerstone of this book's word-building approach is its easy-to-use building block format. By connecting various word parts in an organized sequence thousands of words can be built and learned. The word list is alphabetized so one can see the variety of meanings created when common prefixes and suffixes are repeatedly applied to certain word roots and/or combining forms. The word list also contains key vocabulary terms (in pink), not built from component parts. A pronunciation guide is provided for each medical word and is listed directly beneath the word for ease of use.

    • Provides students with the foundation for learning medical terminology.

This new feature offers current findings in medicine along with interesting facts and web links about the featured condition or disease. Also, a selected pathology is featured in a dynamic audiovisual multimedia presentation on the student CD-ROM.

    • Provides students with interesting facts about the various medical conditions along with a current video of a featured disease.

  • NEW - Pathology Checkpoints—As a bonus, a concise listing of pathology related terms covered in the chapter are provided here.

    • Students can use this checklist to make sure they are familiar with the meaning of each term before moving to the next section.

  • NEW - Free Student CD-ROM included with each book —Provides students with over a dozen interactive activities such as pathology videos, audio glossary, labeling, spelling quizzes, wordbuilding exercises, flashcard generator, and a variety of games such as Racing Pulse, Cognition, Guessword, Hangman, and Beat the Clock!

    Medical Terminology : A WordBuilding Approach focuses its word-building technique on repetition. To build a medical vocabulary, all one has to do is recall the word parts that have been learned and then link them with the new component parts presented in each chapter. It is much easier to learn component parts directly associated with a body system or specialty area, and this is the key to the time-proven approach of Medical Terminology: A Word Building Approach.

Jane Rice. I would like for you to close your eyes and go back in time with me. To a time before most of you were born. The year is 1947 and I am a little girl with brown hair that is braided into pigtails. I am very shy and afraid-for, you see, I am in the second grade and I cannot read. Not one little word. The teacher discovered this and made me sit on a tall metal stool in front of the classroom with a dunce cap on my head. Still to this day, I get very nervous when I have to get up in front of a crowd of people.

My mother taught me to read because back then, there were no special classes for children with learning disabilities. I did not learn "phonetics," but memorized everything. I still have trouble pronouncing words, but I can tell you all you want to know about a medical word.

After the death of two brothers, my father, and the impending death of my mother, I prayed for something else to do, something that would help take away the pain and the hurt. In 1982 my prayers were answered with a most precious gift: Medical Terminology with Human Anatomy, which was first published in September of 1985.

I owe so much to God and my best friend and husband, Charles Larry Rice. Larry helps me in all that I do. We have a lovely adopted daughter, Melissa, who came into our lives 34 years ago when she was 3 weeks old. She has blessed us with a son-in-law, Doug, and five precious grandchildren: Zachary, Benjamin, Jacob, Mary Katherine, and Elizabeth Ann.

Although I am now retired, I had a wonderful teaching career. Because of my childhood experiences I became a caring and devoted teacher. As Medical Assisting Program Director at Coosa Valley Technical Institute, I developed the original curriculum for the medical assisting program and taught my favorite subject, medical terminology, for 29 years. I am grateful to my many wonderful students who taught me so much and touched my life with their unique qualities.
