46. Digestion w/ Arne Christensen

Kyle, Emily, and special guest Arne Christensen (@learnfirm_med_term) sit down and chew the fat about digestion, and medical terminology at large. Christensen shares his research on the Greek and Latin roots behind several medical terms doctors use every day. And he discusses how the journey from ancient meaning to modern usage is not always so simple. Best of all, Christensen takes you on a Dungeons and Dragons style quest through the digestive system, from the mouth to the stomach all the way to the intestines, sharing little-known medical terminology and etymology all along the way. Join us every week as we explore the fascinating origins and meanings of words, uncovering the hidden stories behind language and how it evolves over time, for language enthusiasts and etymology buffs alike.
