I investigated the “medical quiz app” (purchased from the google play store) and the “med term scramble” (purchased from the google play store) to determine which application serves as a better study tool to learn medical terminology. I will examine the format of terminology, the relevance of material, and beneficial features within the applications.
Both applications study medical terminology and serve as an effective resource for students acquiring an education in health care. While “medical quiz app” has a section for medical terminology, the “med term scramble” has each organ systems terminology separated into individual sections. This format is accommodating because you can choose general terminology as a whole or practice a specific organ system you are experiencing difficulty with. Additionally, there is a section in the “med term scramble” for the structure of medical language. This section practices prefixes, suffixes, pleural and singular form. The “medical quiz app” has a multiple-choice structure testing all medical terminology, I think this is effective to mimic a test environment. Both applications serve as an effective study source; nevertheless, “med term scramble” was most effective to study a specific section.

“Med term scramble” tests your knowledge of medical terminology at a higher level. However, in comparison to “medical quiz app” there were more questions that were slightly off topic. An important component of medical terminology is correct spelling, “med term scramble” incorporates this aspect.

I will compare the information available from two major online medical resources to see what type of audience they are targeting and how the information is communicated. The topic that I will be chosen is diabetes. The websites that I will be getting my sources are from Medicinenet (http://www.medicinenet.com/diabetes_mellitus/article.htm) and the CDC centers for disease control and prevention (http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/home/index.html).
“How to Farm a Better Fish” by Joel K. Bourne, Jr. was published in National Geographic’s June, 2014 edition magazine. This particular article characterizes the differences between the various types of aquaculture, as well as what species to feed and the ingredients that make up the food given. The reporter who composed this editorial informed the reader of the advantages and downfalls of an indoor fish tank vs. an outdoor fish pen. The reporter pointed out the numerous ways an aquacultural company may feed their harvest of fish. He even explained that some fish farms have a whole ecosystem of aquatic animals and plants that they feed instead, to supply the whole food chain with enough nutrients. This is a rather important article because

Medical terminology has a long and rich history that evolved in great measure from the Latin and Greek languages. “It is estimated that about three-fourths of our medical terminology is of Greek origin.”(Banay) “Latin accounts for the majority of root words in the English language.” (Fallon).
Moreover, the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences provides a unique teaching approach to students.

Decoding is very important because then it becomes easier to understand medical terminology. You should first break down the word by evaluating the meaning of the suffix, then prefix, and then the word root. This will in able a worker to identify what it is that is going on and be able to describe it to their patient and to the doctor or physician when asked. But first the worker needs to have a good sense of the origin of words which is called etymology. (Theirer & Breitbard, 2007, p. 1-4)Once you have the basic rules down you should be able to put words together and take them apart by decoding them. You also need to make sure that the spelling and pronunciation are correct because if a medical term is used incorrectly, it can become very dangerous and sometimes life threatening because you diagnose wrong procedures and medication. It creates a communication for health care professionals to make sure that a patient is treated with the highest amount of service and to ensure that they are being treated with the right medication.
With the start of medical school, studying basic sciences opened a door to the world enriched with years and years of research. With each passing semester, I gained more knowledge about the biochemical, physiological and anatomical aspects of medicine. The more knowledge I acquired, the more eager I became to apply what I had learnt into clinical practice. Those two years formed the foundation
The rebellion was initiated to escape the human’s cruel ways but instead brought out the ultimate good and evil in the animals. Animal Farm begins with an idea of rebellion thought up by the most respected animal; Old Major, after revolution/rebellion of Manor Farm to Animal Farm. The animal’s true characters begin to show and Animal Farm begins to show the same qualities of Manor Farm. A dictatorial government comes into play and the animals develop the human like qualities that they were trying to rid themselves of. The resurrection of Manor Farm after the revolution was due to the tyrannical behavior of Napoleon and his ability to convince the other animals that everything he was doing was for the best.
