    Hi, I'm looking for an audio resource for Latin terminology. I especially need a guide for pronunciation of the skeletal system.

    If anybody has come across a CD or other audio sources, I'd be grateful

    Thanks in advance.

    Latin - on the right - was the "standard" language of anatomy for many centuries but is being replaced slowly but surely by English - on the left - in most writing. A few terms are "hanging on" as they seem to be more precise and, to many, more useful. An example is the Latin "linea alba," hardly ever called the "white line" or "the aponeurosis of the abdominal muscles that separates the left and right rectus abdominis muscles." Muscles' Latin names seem to have lots of lasting power, as many have become part of the jargon of sports and athleticism: The rectus abdomini are never called anything but "rectus" at the gym, etc.
