The language of anatomy and physiology Medical Terminology The language of anatomy and physiology

10 Words vs. 10 Word Parts

It’s Greek to Me Most words are derived from a combination of Latin and Greek Latin is a “dead” language no population actively uses Greek is the language medicine began in

ROOT Word Parts PRE- fix SUF- Prefix, root, and suffix often separated by a combining vowel Ex: Hyperactive, achondroplasia, angioplasty ROOT PRE- fix SUF-

Root Main part, subject, central meaning of the word Sometimes 2 roots with a combining vowel Ex. Cardiopulmon = heart and lung ROOT PRE- fix SUF-

ROOT Prefix PRE- fix SUF- Syllable(s) before the root to alter the meaning Ex: hyperthermic = above temp hypothermic = below temp ROOT PRE- fix SUF-

ROOT Suffix PRE- fix SUF- Syllable(s) at the end of a root to alter the meaning Ex: -osis = condition of -itis = inflamation of ROOT PRE- fix SUF-

Plural Forms (not to be confused with “pleural” forms!) English = most forms just add “-s” or “-es” Latin/Greek = many forms

10 Common Plural Endings Singular Plural a (aorta) ae (aortae) en (foramen) ina (foramina) is (testis) es (testes) is (iris) ides (irides) nx (phalanx) ges (phalanges) on (spermatozoon) a (spermatozoa) um (ovum) a (ova) us (bronchus) I (bronchi) x (thorax) ces (thoraces) y (artery) ies (arteries) Singular

Spelling Correct spelling is extremely important in anatomy and physiology! Examples abduct vs. adduct arteritis vs arthritis ileum vs ilium
