✦ Synopsis

Full, tmabridged definitions of more than 33,000 medical terms are listed in this new dictionary, in spite of its small size. Twenty four plates, sixteen in color, enhance the usefulness of the book, as do the many tables listing the arteries, bones, muscles, nerves, veins, etc. Definitions are cross-referenced to these tables, grouped in the appendix for easy use. Including, as it does, the most up-to-date medical terms, this dictionary should be most helpful to nurses, laboratory workers, medical social workers, lawyers, public health officers and reporters.
