Now in its Fourth Edition, this richly illustrated guide serves as an introduction to medical terminology. It provides extensive coverage of those terms relating to normal structure and function, disorders, diagnosis and treatment. Numerous illustrations throughout the book -- most in brilliant four-color -- enhance informative coverage of normal anatomy, physiology and clinical material. The book comes packaged with a CD-ROM containing a Stedman's pronunciation glossary, and exercises for students. The free faculty ancillary package includes an image bank, transparencies, and an instructor's manual packaged with a test generator CD-ROM. (Midwest)
