Summary: "Science, particularly terms used in the provision of health care, are inundated with Latin and Greek terminologies. For all parts of the body Latin names are used and Greek terms are also common as the Greeks are said to be the founders of modern medicine. Health care staff use pathophysiological concepts as they work with people who they offer care to and as they offer treatment to those who are experiencing some type of health condition or disease"-- Provided by publisher.
