Acquiring Medical Language https://www.mheducation.com/cover-images/Jpeg_400-high/1260018571.jpeg 3 9781260018578 Acquiring Medical Language approaches medical language not as words to be memorized but as a language to be learned. This text teaches students to break down words into their composite parts and exposes students to all the relevant information (the root, its meaning, its use), so they see how it relates to the other roots in the context of the body system.
