there is not much time for language issues emerged in each units From unit to 11 the main systems, senses, and organs of the human body, such as gastro-intestinal system, cardiovascular system, and the eye, are the focus The reading at the beginning of each unit gives the learners an overview of what will be discussed, and is to attract their attention as well when it provide so much interesting anatomical information On the completion of the reading, the learners have certain exercises to enhance the vocabulary they have come across in the texts The last four units are to present important areas of communication in seeing the patients Medical students will find it really useful and practical to practice the communication skills that are so familiar to them Taking a history is a typical example In this unit, vocabulary and structures are given sufficiently so that our future doctors can be confident to interview their foreign patients in English Last but not least to be mentioned here is the appendixes where full of common used abbriviations are given, lots of important instructions are shown, and a number of significant medical terms are explained, which will certainly make you enjoy the Medical English course The last thing to be mentioned here is that this is the first edition of this course book, which means mistakes are unavoidable, and we would appreciate any comments in order to make better editions in the future UNIT 1: THE HUMAN BODY Learning objectives: After study of this unit, students should be able to: List all words of body parts Thoroughly grasp the roots/suffixes/prefixes referring body parts Apply anatomical terms in reading and studying medical materials A READING: Most external parts of the body have ordinary English names as well as anatomical names Doctors normally use the English names, even when talking to each other There are a few exceptions where doctors use the anatomical name; these are shown in parentheses Figure 1 Common terms for body regions, anterior view Anatomical terms for regions are in parentheses Figure Common terms for body regions, posterior view Everyone is interested in the human body, what happens when it is affected by disease and how to stay healthy Articles on health and medicine appear daily in newspapers and magazines Ordinary people who are not specially trained in sccience are frequently asked to make decisions on scientific matters which affect society The scientific terms for the study of body structure is anatomy Part of this word means to ―cut‖ because early anatomists dissected (cut) the human body to learn about its structure The practice of any health care professional requires basic understanding of anatomy and most anatomic data is obtained through the use of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, rather than through experimental studies Physiology is the study of how body parts function, including their chemical and physical processes Anatomy and physiology are closely related Anything that disturbs the normal working of the body is considered a disease and is studied as the science of pathology All living things are organised from very simple levels to more complex levels Living matters begins with simple chemicals which are formed into the complex substances that make living cells, which are the basic units of life Groups of specialised cells form tissues and different tissues function together to form organs Various organs function together to make up the systems of the human body READING COMPREHENSION Answer the following questions: What is the medical term for the study of body structure? How doctors get most anatomic data nowadays? What is the medical term for the study of how body parts function? What is the basic living unit? What is a system made up of? B Word Parts Pertaining to Body Structure ROOT Cephal/o Cervic/o Thorac/o Abdomin/o MEANING EXAMPLE DEFINITION OF EXAMPLE head microcephaly abnormal smalless of the head neck cervicofacial aertaining to the neck and face chest, thorax extrathoracic outside the thorax abdomen intra-abdominal within the abdomen abdominal wall laparoscope instrument for viewing the peritoneal cavity through the abdominal wall lumbar region thoracolumbar pertaining to the chest and lumber region Lapar/o Lumb/o C REFERRING TO PARTS OF THE BODY When patients talk about their problem they often refer to a part of the body: I’m having trouble with my hip shoulder knee The doctor often needs to ask about a part of the body: the Do you get any pain in chest stomach your back D DESCRIBING RADIATION OF PAIN A patient is telling the doctor about his back pain and the parts of the body it radiates to It starts in the back Then it seems to go into the right buttock and down the back of the right thigh to the knee E To express a pain or ache in a part of the body, we use the expression: chest There’s back a pain in my knee I have got head The word ache can combine with the words showing parts of the body: Examples: toothache headache backache stomachache I have a headache I have a stomachache * “Hurt” and “ache” are verbs We use them like this: My foot hurts I’m aching all over * “Sore” and “painful” are adjectives We can say: My foot is sore or I have a sore foot I have got a sore throat My back is so painful that I can’t stand upright any more Exercise 1: Can you name the parts of the human body?

(2) and (3) into the testicle FURTHER READING A healthy body not only looks good on the outside but also maintains the internal organs in good condition A healthy body inside is as important as someone‘s appearance The body consists of major internal organs, muscles, and bones, which all have various functions Let‘s start from the top Inside the head, protected by the skull, is the brain Perhaps the most important organ in the body, the brain controls the main functions in the body Moving down the chest area, there are lungs and heart They are protected by ribcage The lungs regulate breathing by exchanging CO2 with oxygen and the heart pumps blood to all parts of the body A little further down, there is stomach, which, with its excretions and enzimes, digests the food people eat by breaking down nutrients and turning them into fuel and energy for the body to use Digestion continues in the small and large intestines, where nutrients are absorbed The kidney and liver have the important function of eliminating waste; too much alcohol consumption will waken the liver Of course, the bones and muscles, which support the body, are also important for people health Good nutrition and exercise help maintain people‘s health and keep their bodies fit Reading comprehension If you have this condition, your blood is not pumped properly to the rest of the body because your blood vessels are clogged Organ: name of condition: _ If the air is polluted or if you are allergic to certain pollens, you have difficulty breathing Organ: name of condition: _ When you eat, you have difficulty digesting and feel pain Organ: name of condition: _ 10 109 Appendix Symptoms and pain 110 Appendix Verbs used in instructions 111 Appendix Lay terms and definitions 112 NEW WORDS Unit
