      MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY

      FOUNDATION OF MEDICAL WORDS

      Structure Most medical words are composed of two or more terms. To define a medical word:

      divide the word into its terms

      analyze the terms

      define the word Examples:Pericarditis

      peri = around; card = heart; itis = inflammation Inflammation around the heart

      Oncology

      onco = tumor, mass; logy = study of Study of tumors

      Terms Term + Term (.....+.....) = medical word There are five categories of terms:

      Prefix - beginning of a word (ex., pre____; post_____). Designated by a ____ after the term.

      Suffix - ending of a word (ex., _____stomy; _____itis). Designated by a ____ before the term.

      Root - foundation/base of a word (ex., hepat; gastr).

      Combining vowel - vowel (usually o) added to a root (ex., gastro). Use a combining vowel when joining:

      Root to another root (ex., gastrohepatitis).

      Root to a suffix beginning with a consonant (ex., cardiomegaly).

      Combining form - root + vowel (ex., hepat/o; gastr/o). Designated by a / between the root and the vowel. Examples:Hyperleukocytosis

      hyper (prefix) = excessiveleuko (combining form) = whitecyt (root) = cellosis (suffix) = condition of

      Definition: Condition of excessive white blood cells (leukocytes) Hematotoxic

      hemato (combining form) = bloodtox (root) = poisonic (suffix) = pertaining to

      Definition: Pertaining to blood poisoning

      TIPS:

      Some terms have more than one definition. To determine the correct definition in a particular medical word, analyze the other terms in the word.Example:Poliomyelitis

      polio = gray (matter)myel = spinal cord, bone marrowitis =
