ANSWER:
Almost every medical specific field uses specific terminology, usually based on latin. I believe the main reason is to avoid confusion and to be specific in the least amount of words or explanation. Unfortunately, PLAIN ENGLISH is not always so plain or term specific and compared to Latin, which is a dead language, there is a tendency to have many terms for one description when it is permanent and never changes with Latin. Take the word "RIGHT". It could mean opposite of left, OR it could mean correct. Latin has very specific rules that are not open to interpretation. Like trying to teach someone to back a car into a parking space by saying " go ahead, back up!"
