Anatomy and Physiology Terms: Brief Definitions, Roots & Morphology; An Abecedary; Vol 4B Muscular System - Histology Terms

By Lee Oliva

Anatomical Planes may sound to be common everyday concepts. The moment they are used with directional terms like Superior, Inferior, Lateral or Medial, the confusion ensues. But the students will have an epiphany with this terms, but not immediately. Later, you will wonder, “How did I miss such a mundane concept?”. The majority of directional terms are everyday English vocabulary. It’s their Latin roots... and naming conventions that are mystifying. How do you explain: “DORSOFLEXION” as opposed to “PLANTARFLEXION”. Opposite directions but they are both – FLEXION. For the readers who do not not mind scrolling up and down 600+ terms, a combined volume will be compiled. Send comments to [e-mail].

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY (A&P): Be Prepped. Be Forearmed.

Except for an introductory A&P course in select high schools there is no subject, nor pre-requisite college course that prepares Health Science majors for the large volume and unique challenges of A&P terms. Health majors who have yet to take the course will be glad to have been prepped and forearmed by ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY (A&P) TERMS.

Due to the deluge of unfamiliar terms.most students’ initial reaction to 1st semester Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) is an overwhelming "shock and awe",

A&P TERMS is an abecedary on the course’s challenging terms from the ordinary to the most challenging (An abecedary is a primer book presented in alphabetical order).
