Austrin begins teaches medical terminology by providing a foundation in the first four chapters. These chapters teach the word parts used to build medical terms and explain how to combine them into terms. Then theremaining fourteen chapters present medical terminology as it relates to the various body systems. Austrin provides more anatomy coverage than any of our books and as much or more than its most direct competitors: Chabner, Fremgen, and Rice. Austrins related terms listings--located at the ends of the body systems chapters--include anatomic terms, pathologic conditions, surgical procedures, and laboratory tests with their pronunciations and definitions. The assumption seems to be that students will remember the meanings of the word parts used to build the terms from their study of the first four foundation chapters. For the ninth edition, we have renamed (formerly called glossaries) and redesigned these sections--now called related terms--and moved them earlier in the chapter, so that their importance is more obvious. Terms are grouped by body system with a focus on anatomy. Each chapter contains a variety of exercises to encourage reinforcement of terms: anatomy identification, fill-in the blank, matching, defining word parts. Answers to exercises grouped at the end of the book prevent students from being distracted by answers on facing page as s/he completes exercises. Related termslists (with definitions) are not separated from chapter material by exercises, easing reinforcement from definitions. Focused reviews of a section appear immediately following the materials presentation. The reproductive and urinary systems now each have a separate chapter, dividing up the information to be learned into more manageable segments. Improved layout and integration of related terms lists into chapters enhances the usefulness of these sections. New content on oncology has been added in Chapter 5 Understanding the Body and Its Structure. All answers to exercises have been moved to the back of the book. In the eighth edition, the answers appeared right after the exercises in each chapter. Moving them to the back improves the flow of the text itself. The new edition has a layflat binding to making filling in the exercises easier.
