    About this ebook

    The terms in this section are organized alphabetically, with brief definitions and "dissection" of the compounding roots. Thus, the terms are truly DECODED! There is no high school subject, nor prerequisite college course that prepares students for the heavy volume of A&P terms and their idiosyncrasies. The aim is not for the full understanding of terms, but for insights into the inner workings of A&P Terminology. Understanding the imagery and metaphor of common Greek and Latin words in A&P facilitates understanding and recall more efficiently than laborious repetitive drills. Get an overview of the system terminology by surveying the DIRECTORY OF TERMS. The collection of terms in this volume encompasses the whole subject and more. The complete list of terms will help students to be proactive and may be incorporated in the course syllabus. Solicit your professors' guidance as to the important terms.

      The Music Of Language

      AN ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE AUTHOR

      Congratulations for acquiring this study guide to Anatomy and Physiology (A&P) Terminology. You are on your way to mastering this course.

      It is organized by System and System Terminology, a convenient tool to be pro-active with every section. Use it for the most esoteric A&P terms to the very ordinary and self-explanatory. Seemingly common sense and everyday terms hold the wonderment of discovery of A&P Greek&Latin roots. It will enhance your understanding of the terms. These books are translated into several languages and the everyday terms easily understood in the English speaking world will facilitate learning for non-English speakers. The Latin based nomenclature of A&P is internationally standardized.

      Scan the navigable DIRECTORY to survey the section nomenclature. Your professor will be glad to prompt you to the important terms. Every root entry is self-contained. When you click on a term, you will be linked to an organized and concise etymological compounding of its ROOT-STEMS, PREFIX-SUFFIXES

      There are two parts to the decoding of the cryptic terms: 1. a) brief def., compounding; metaphorical and figurative imagery in italics. 2. ROOT-STEMS, PREFIX-SUFFIXES is the heart and mind of this work. The brief def. is, merely, introductory. You will discover the fascinating, sometimes amusing imagery behind the terms. The stems morph into two or more different terms, introducing you to more concepts in another system that you will encounter sooner or later.

      Mastering these terms sooner will help you through the academic years of your chosen health profession. By giving you a handle on the massive number of terms, the author hopes to ease the perennial concern of Health majors about A&P: How am I going to remember all these? When you discover their imagery, learning will be more profound, easy and recall is enhanced. This is the guides’ promise.

      If your curiosity, wonderment, and awe of Anatomy and Physiology are enhanced by this body of work, I will have fulfilled my goal.

      HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

      Every entry is self-contained and self-explanatory.

      (NOTE: The following Latin Grammar tidbit is for Latin grammarians. At this point, if none of this is of interest to you, skip it. Go ahead and start DECODING!)

      The key parts to recognize in the compounding of A&P terms are the stems of nouns and verbs which are the direct derivation of the terms. The stem in nouns is the plural form; in verbs, the past participle form. If this does not make sense now, be not concerned. This phenomenon is indicated in each entry. Nevertheless, this is illustrated below.

      GUIDELINE 1 – Latin nouns: The plural form is the direct derivation of terms.

      Example 1: Os (n.; plu., Osses), a bone

      The plural form, Osses, is directly derived for OSSIFICATION, OSSICLES

      Example 2: Rete (n.; plu., Retices), a net

      The plural form, Retices, is directly derived for RETICULUM, RETICULATED

      Example 3: Caput (n.; plu., Capites), a head

      The plural form, Capites, is directly derived for CAPITATE, CAPITULUM

      NOTE: The plural formsof nouns, in general, become unrecognizable from their singular form (ex., Os to Osses; Rete to Retices; Caput to Capites). This is, simply, the nature of Latin noun declension; this is not a cause for concern since plural forms are indicated in the entries as shown above.

      GUIDELINE 2 – Latin verbs: The past participle form is the direct derivation.

      Example 1: Rotare (v.; Roto, Rotare, Rotavi, Rotatum), to turn, whirl around

      Rotatum (past participle form), turned around, whirled around

      Thus, Rotatum is derived for ROTATION, ROTATOR

      Example 2: Abducere (v.; Abduco, Abducere, Abduxi, Abductum), to lead away

      Abductum (past participle form), led away

      Thus, Abductum is derived for ABDUCTION, ABDUCTOR.

      NOTE: The past participle form usually ends in –tum (ex., Rotatum, Abductum). The rest of the entries within the parentheses, (Abduco, Abducere, Abduxi, Abductum), are mere Latin grammar convention (in courtesy to the few remaining Latin Grammarians left alive).

      Recognize these patterns for nouns and verbs and the rest is self-explanatory.

      GUIDELINE 3 – Adjectives and prepositional derivatives are self-evident.
