23 Study Actively Answer Questions/ do work assigned by instructor Answer Questions/ do work assigned by instructor Hint: The language of A&P is really a foreign language. It’s mostly Latin. It really helps to look at work parts and their meanings. Hint: The language of A&P is really a foreign language. It’s mostly Latin. It really helps to look at work parts and their meanings.
