An Illustrated Guide to Veterinary Medical Terminology 4th Edition by Janet Amundson Romich
Quick Navigation

Overview

Providing the ultimate terminology reference for veterinary assistants and technicians, AN ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO VETERINARY MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY, 4e provides an engaging approach to learning medical terms and understanding basic principles of veterinary medicine. This user-friendly book delivers a unique pedagogical presentation that makes it a comprehensive learning resource. Its systematic approach to learning the parts of medical terms enables students to understand basic medical concepts and apply critical thinking skills in determining the meaning of new medical terms. Focusing on how medical terms are formed, analyzed, and defined, the book discusses anatomical landmarks, the positioning of animals, and the relationships between body parts. It also introduces terms used in the animal industry. Case studies illustrate how medical terminology is experienced in real-world practice, and an audio wordlist enables students to hear the terms they are learning. In addition, the Fourth Edition features greatly expanded artwork.
