Objectives : Objectives Reviewing body systems and related medical terms
Understanding how medical terms are formed including combining forms, prefixes and suffixes
Learning to define, spell and pronounce medical terms according to the component word parts
Forming a foundation that allows continuing expansion of medicla terminology skills
What We Will Cover Today! : What We Will Cover Today! Basic Medical Word Structure
Gastrointestinal System
Respiratory System
Cardiovascular System
Urinary System
Reproductive System
Nervous System, Special Senses
Integumentary System
STOP! : STOP! I will now test your knowledge
Word Root : Word Root Foundation or core
All medical words contain one or more
Conveys fundamental meaning
Example: HEPAT/ITIS
"HEPAT" (liver) is the word root.
SUFFIX : SUFFIX Medical terms may/may not contain a suffix
Attached to the end of a word root
Alters or modifies the meaning
Example: HEPAT/ITIS
"-ITIS" (inflammation) is the suffix.
PREFIX : PREFIX Attached to the beginning
Influences the meaning
Not all medical terms contain a prefix
Example: SUB/HEPAT/IC
"SUB-" (under) is the prefix.
("-IC" is the suffix for pertaining to, subhepatic means pertaining to under the liver.)
COMBINING VOWEL : COMBINING VOWEL Usually an “O”
Links two word roots or a word root and a suffix
Eases pronunciation
Not all medical terms contain combining vowels
Has no meaning of its own
A word root which a vowel is attached is called a combining form
RULES : RULES When connecting two word roots, a combining vowel is usually used even when vowels are present at the junction - oste/o/arthr/itis
When connecting a word root and a suffix, a combining vowel is usually not used if the suffix begins with a vowel - hepat/ic
BREAKDOWN : BREAKDOWN Medical terms include pertinent word parts, not all the time
Breakdown can sometimes be misleading
Knowing the breakdown will help with the learning process
Breakdown alone will not always give you the entire meaning of the term
Useful tool for identifying procedure, anatomical site or condition
EXAMPLES : EXAMPLES LEUK/EMIA - literally means blood condition of white; actual meaning is large increase in the number of cancerous abnormal white blood cells
AUT/O/PSY - literally means process of viewing self; actual meaning is exam of dead body (with one’s own eyes) to determine cause of death

Examples:

Pertaining to below the stomach
