Word Analysis Most medical terms are formed by a combination of basic word parts. An understanding of how these parts work together makes interpreting medical language easier!

Word Analysis Root- foundation of the word; usually indicates what part of body is involved –Ex: neur/o = nerves Suffix- is the word ending; indicates the procedure, disease, or condition -Ex: -itis = inflammation Prefix- comes at the beginning of the word; usually indicates location, time, or number -Ex: poly = many Root- foundation of the word; usually indicates what part of body is involved –Ex: neur/o = nerves Suffix- is the word ending; indicates the procedure, disease, or condition -Ex: -itis = inflammation Prefix- comes at the beginning of the word; usually indicates location, time, or number -Ex: poly = many

Word Analysis Combining Vowel- links the root of the word to the suffix or the root of another root. A combining vowel has no meaning of its own -Usually “O” -Used to make med terms easier to pronounce -Is NOT used when a suffix begins with a vowel -IS used when a suffix begins with a consonant Combining Vowel- links the root of the word to the suffix or the root of another root. A combining vowel has no meaning of its own -Usually “O” -Used to make med terms easier to pronounce -Is NOT used when a suffix begins with a vowel -IS used when a suffix begins with a consonant

Put it together Poly + Neur/o + itis= Polyneuritis Many + Nerve + Inflammation = inflammation of many nerves Poly + Neur/o + itis= Polyneuritis Many + Nerve + Inflammation = inflammation of many nerves

Put it together Gastr/o + itis= Gastritis Stomach + Inflammation = inflammation of the stomach Gastr/o + itis= Gastritis Stomach + Inflammation = inflammation of the stomach

Put it together Hemat/o + logy = Hematology Blood + Study of = Study of Blood Hemat/o + logy = Hematology Blood + Study of = Study of Blood

Put it together Electr/o+Cardi/o+Gram= Electrocardiogram Electricity + Heart + Record = Record of the electricity of the Heart Electr/o+Cardi/o+Gram= Electrocardiogram Electricity + Heart + Record = Record of the electricity of the Heart
