How is one supposed to truly understand "medical terminology" without involving anything about physiology?

medical terminology was created coz of the inclusion of physiology, so if u remove the latter, how can u have the former?\n\nbesides, the word "terminology" itself states it`s a language in itself...if things cud`ve been solved by general logic, y were medical dictionaries created?\n\ntake the ex. of "flat" & "apartment", former`s used in UK nd latter in US ... both ultimately end into the same thing but if u use the logic behind 1 of those, u will not arrive at the other word, though both terms r technically correct.\n\na language has 2 basic purposes, 1 is to communicate within its group of ppl nd another is to conceal information from others who wud not understand it. like for docs-- whn a patient comes with his probs, there wud b 100s of possible diagnosis runnin in his mind. nd if he wishes to speak with sm other doc in the pt`s presence, he cant mention every doubt of his which may include just common cold or cud b terminal TB...u can imagine the pt`s reactions...\n\nso nxt time, dont use logic here, refer a med dictionary...

Understand the lever system of the beds.\nUnderstand water flow for suspension of IV injection bags.\n\nFrankly, physics is not that important in medicine.

Slang words, and especially vulgar slang, often do not match reality.  It is also called a "woody" and there is certainly no wood in it either.\n\nErection sounds almost monumental.  Nothing else as part of the human body undergoes such a transformation.  From flaccid to "not so limp" (chubby) to "stiff as a board or a bone" by merely pumping blood is remarkable.

Yes, how can non medically trained peopel diagnose a disease or condition with no exam? Please see a qualified doctor who can determine if this is muscular, neurological or both.

I would check out this site.  I read over a lot of the material and it looks correct.  Medical Journals are copyrighted and usually require a subscription, so you cannot get access to them without permission or payment.  I would check out webmd for layman's terms.

There is "book study."  Depending on the program there is usually anatomy and physiology -- often including cadaver dissection (or at least observation and study of a real cadaver.) There is some study of pathology and disease -- especially musculoskeletal issues.  Then there is the study of different types and forms of massage -- and there are many!  Lots of practice of different techniques, plus some programs include electives for how to incorporate reflexology, aromatherapy, cranio-sacral, etc.

Biology or Chemistry or a devoted pre-med program as offered by some schools.  Pre-med isn't so much a major as a set of courses recommended by the AMA - it includes general Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, Organic Chemistry, Calculus and higher level electives in chemistry and/or biology, as well as courses in literature and writing.\n\nYou might also consider taking a course in Latin - any number of med students say that it either did help them or that they wish they had taken one.  It's not essential, but given the amount of Latin used in medical terminology, at least being familiar with the language will make studying and your recognition of terms easier.  Some universities offer Latin for Pre-meds or something similar - I think that it's less about grammar and more about vocabulary.

There isn't a medical term for this condition.

The closest I could think to put it to was 'Without blood there is no pain' which would be 'Sine sanguis est non dolor.' I'll check it out and revise this soon. Hope that helps.

EVERYTHING?!!!? Dude or Dudette............no way.  Too long.  Look it up. It will literally take you months to get a decent sized library and you still won't be done.  Naturopathy = herbal medecine. Been around for centuries.  Ancient greek and roman doctors used it.

Don't worry. you can buy a physiology book. then buy a dead animal,  then anatomise it. just do it ,  success belong to you.  good luck!

really, you would have to be in training to interpret it.  i am in med school and have had anatomy and have taken an elective in reading mri and ct's and i wouldn't trust myself to read them.  either try to bump your appointment up or do whatever you can to not think about it until then.

It's like why you study economy when you want to make any bussiness. We study something, because we NEEDED it! That alone can makes sense. I can't understand if you don't feel the need to understand how's your body work, what disease is it and what type of microorganism that caused it and what treatment is best to heal it, and such.

homeostasis is the underlying theme of all of nature and IMPLIES interdependence.  Most current anatomy-physiology textbooks FINALLY list how each system affects all the other systems of the body.  We use Tortora and Dickerson and the last page of each chapter itemizes all this.  Very helpful to teach the interconnectedness of the systems, yes, but also all of life-the cosmos.  It's all connected and interdependent from micro sub-atomic particles to macro galaxies and cosmos.

Anatomy ....Human anatomy or anthropotomy is a special field within anatomy. It studies gross structures and systems of the human body, leaving the study of tissues to histology and cells to cytology. The human body, like the bodies of all animals, consists of systems, that consist of organs, that consist of tissues, that consist of cells.\n\nSee History of anatomy for a history of anatomy, including human anatomy.\n\nPatholgy.... Pathology (from Greek pathos, feeling, pain, suffering; and logos, study of; see also -ology) is the study of the processes underlying disease and other forms of illness, harmful abnormality, or dysfunction. Within biology but also a branch of medicine, it means specifically the study and diagnosis of the structural and functional changes in cells, tissues and organs that underlie disease. Another name for pathology is laboratory medicine.\n\nPhysiology ..... Physiology (in Greek physis = nature and logos = word) is the study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of living organisms.\n\nPhysiology has traditionally been divided into plant physiology and animal physiology but the principles of physiology are universal, no matter what particular organism is being studied. For example, what is learned about the physiology of yeast cells can also apply to human cells.\n\nThe field of animal physiology extends the tools and methods of human physiology to non-human animal species. Plant physiology also borrows techniques from both fields. Its scope of subjects is at least as diverse as the tree of life itself. Due to this diversity of subjects, research in animal physiology tends to concentrate on understanding how physiological traits changed throughout the evolutionary history of animals.\n\nOther major branches of scientific study that have grown out of physiology research include biochemistry, biophysics, biomechanics, and pharmacology.

What is "a physiology diseases"?  \nI would have to say that "a physiology diseases" is a grammatically incorrect sentence fragment.

DEPRESSED. All joking aside, I believe you can type "Medical Terminology" in the Yahoo Search bar. Medical Dictionaries have a word (or more) for every condition and everything.
