Description
This course in the first in a series of courses designed to assist you in mastering medical terminology. In this course, you will first gain an understanding of the basics of medical terminology: what components make up medical words and what are the general rules regarding the terms in the medical lexicon. Then, you will gain an understanding of the orientation and general make up of the human body, including the anatomical position, directional terms, and the general regions of the human body. Finally, you will be making a journey through 5 organ systems in the human body and learning the most important and frequently-used prefixes, suffixes, and word roots, as well as the major terms in the anatomy, physiology, pathology, and clinical aspects of the each of these organ systems. By the end of this first course, you will:- Understand the basic principles of medical terminology- Know the general orientation of the human body- Learn and apply the terminology for different regions of the human body- Learn and apply the medical terminologies of 5 organ systems: Integumentary, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Skeletal, and Muscular systems- Know the origin stories of some medical terms and how these stories can help you remember these termsThis course is perfect for all medical and healthcare students seeking to improve their knowledge of medical terminology, and also individuals wanting to learn more about medical terms and foundational knowledge in what make up the body and how it functions.
