Latin (and Greek) form the dominant base for the English language. And several other ones as well. The use of Latin in Human Physiology for example, means that different investigators are using the same language for a specific bone, or process. Thus misunderstandings will be avoided.

Similarly in botany, and even Geology, the terms are formalized, often in Latin or Greek. But a formal knowledge of Latin or Greek is not needed, the conversations are mostly conducted in plain language.

In what ways is the language of Latin still alive today?

Latin is used almost everyday, especially in areviations. Although it is dead, it is still somewhat "alive". Present in abreviations such as: ex. = eximpli/not exactly example RIP = Requiescat in pace/not exactly meaning rest in peace i.e. = id est (that is) -More to Come- ---- Latin comes up a lot in English words like the Latin word for water is Aqua. People use it a lot in science methods, and other things that people do everyday. It is also still used a lot as a foreign language in schools. People just don't use the Latin Language in daily conversations anymore. Latin is most definitely not a dead language, it is just not as popular as it used to be.
