About this ebook
The Medical Terminology Systems Updated: A Body Systems Approach (8th Edition) by Barbara A. Gylys and Mary Ellen Wedding is structured around a foundational word-building methodology followed by a comprehensive, system-by-system exploration of the human body. [1, 2]
Foundational Word-Building & Structure
The first four chapters establish the rules of medical language construction before applying them to clinical systems: [1]
- Basic Elements of a Medical Word: Core word structures, word roots, and combining forms.
- Suffixes: Categorizing surgical, diagnostic, symptomatic, and grammatical suffixes.
- Prefixes: Exploring position, number, measurement, and directional prefixes.
- Body Structure: Introduction to anatomical, physiological, and pathological terms, body planes, positions, regions, and foundational therapeutic terms. [1, 2]
Core Body Systems Covered
Chapters 5 through 16 are organized by individual anatomical systems. Each of these chapters covers relevant anatomy & physiology (A&P), diseases and conditions (pathology), diagnostic methods, surgical/therapeutic procedures, psychiatric terms, pharmacology, and standard abbreviations: [1, 2]
- Integumentary System
- Digestive System
- Respiratory System
- Cardiovascular System
- Blood, Lymphatic, and Immune Systems
- Musculoskeletal System
- Urinary System
- Female Reproductive System
- Male Reproductive System
- Endocrine System
- Nervous System
- Special Senses (Eyes and Ears) [1, 2]
Learning Tools and Application Elements
Throughout these topics, the text integrates specific features designed to bridge terminology with clinical practice:
- Authentic Medical Records: Real-world charting documentation activities to practice reading and deciphering clinical notes.
- "Connecting Body Systems" Tables: Summaries showing how individual systems interact with and impact one another.
- Eponyms and Coding Standards: Modernized vocabulary updates, including non-possessive eponym forms (e.g., Cushing syndrome) and ICD-10-PCS terminology replacements. [1, 2]
