[交流] Medical Terminology

The vocabulary of scientific medicine is built from these units.

I believe this is the most complete list that you will find, either in a book or on the internet. It's yours now. If you distribute it more-or-less-as-is, please be sure to mention me as compiler.

Most come from classical Greek. The next most common source is Latin.
