Basic Word Structure (Medical Terminology)
What exactly are we doing? Analyzing words (medical terminology) by dividing them into component parts Relate the medical terms to the structure and function of the human body Example: Hepatitis : means inflammation ( itis) of the liver (hepat)
Dividing Words Into Component Parts Root (foundation): Hemat = blood Suffix (word ending): -logy = study of Combining vowel (usually o): links the root to the suffix or the root to another root
Dividing Words Into Component Parts STUDY OF BLOOD
Dividing Words Into Component Parts Root: (foundation)Electr = electricity Root: cardi = heart Suffix (word ending): -gram = record Combining vowel (usually o): links the root to the suffix or the root to another root
Dividing Words Into Component Parts RECORD OF THE ELECTRICITY OF THE HEART
Dividing Words Into Component Parts Root: (foundation)Gastr = stomach Suffix (word ending): -itis = inflammation Combining vowel (usually o): NOTE – is missing here because the suffix, -itis, begins with a vowel COMBINING VOWEL IS RETAINED BETWEEN 2 ROOTS
Dividing Words Into Component Parts INFLAMMATION OF THE STOMACH
Dividing Words Into Component Parts Root: (foundation)Gastr = stomach Root: (foundation)enter = intestines Suffix (word ending): -logy = study of Combining vowel (usually o): NOTE – COMBINING VOWEL IS RETAINED BETWEEN 2 ROOTS
Dividing Words Into Component Parts STUDY OF THE STOMACH AND INTESTINES
Dividing Words Into Component Parts Root: (foundation)Gastr = stomach Combining forms: can be used with many different suffixes
Dividing Words Into Component Parts Prefix: (beginning) NOT ALL medical terms contain prefixes, but the prefix can have an important influence on meaning Sub = under Epi = above
SUMMARY: Root = foundation of term Suffix = word ending Prefix = word beginning Combining vowel = vowel (usually o) that links the root to the suffix or the root to another root Combining form = combination of the root and combining vowel
