Introduction to Medical Terminology COURSE INTRODUCTION:- Introduction to Medical Terminology provides the tools to analyse medical terms and to learn the meaning, spelling, and pronunciation of terms. The first lesson of the course introduces you to word structures and teaches you how to break down long medical terms into their various components. It also introduces you to body systems, planes, directions, and positions. This information, together with the word structure tools, provides the groundwork for the remainder of your studies. The second and subsequent lessons present anatomical, pathological, and clinical terms and procedures relating to the following body systems: Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, Blood, Lymphatic and Immune, Respiratory, Nervous, Integumentary, Sensory, Digestive, Endocrine, Urinary, Reproductive. In the final lesson, you will expand on and review some of the diagnostic and surgical terminology you will have encountered throughout the course. This lesson also introduces you to pharmacological (drug) terminology, and expands your knowledge of oncology (the study and treatment of cancer). Each lesson covers three or more body systems. As you work through each lesson you are presented with simple diagrams to help you relate medical terms to the structure and function of the human body. You are also given the opportunity to practice the pronunciation and spelling of various medical terms relating to the body systems.
