Complete with a guide to prefixes and suffixes, this book decodes patterns in the naming of parts throughout the human body and makes anatomical terms more memorable for medical students and practitioners. In addition to professionals, anyone interested in the history of anatomy, the structure and function of the human body, medical etymology, and the history of language will be fascinating by this engrossing, accessible, and informative book.
Anatomical terms are the vocabulary of medicine. Anatomy began as a descriptive science in the days when Latin was the universal scientific language. Early anatomists described the structures they saw in that language, comparing them to common and familiar objects, or borrowing terms from the Greek and Arabic masters before them. In anatomic terminology, common Latin or Greek words are used as such for any part of the body for which the ancients had a name. For many other structures, scientific names have been invented either by using certain classical words which appear to be descriptive of the part concerned, or commonly, by combining Greek or Latin roots to form a new compound term. Memorization of such terms without understanding their meaning can lead to mental indigestion.As an aid to comprehension, this book also presents the roots from which many of these descriptive terms and compounds are derived. For practical convenience, the book is organized into abbreviations, prefixes and suffixes, general terms common to all body regions, short lists for each major body part, and an alphabetical list covering the entire body. This pocket-sized handbook is essential for anyone wishing to learn and understand medical terms.

Excerpt from Anatomical Names: Especially the Basle Nomina Anatomica ("Bna") In the Romanic countries and in England, the terms were more or less adapted to the language of the country. Hile the Germans used adjectives with the endings -ides and idens, the English used terms with the endings-id and -idean, the French with the endings -ide and iden, the Italians -ide and -ide0. Direct translations into the Romanic language and into English. Were adopted as purely technical terms. About the middle of the eighteenth century anatomic teaching w begun in America, and with it came varied translations from foreign works. This gave rise to the use of a number of terms for the same structure. Again the same term was frequently used for different structures. This multiplication of terms was not at all peculiar to America; indeed it prevailed to an alarming degree in Germany, England and France. There thus piled up such a mass of technical terms that the science of anatomy staggered beneath its own terminology.
