1. Dimensional Analysis, Metric Conversions & Scientific Method Quiz  You will have a maximum of 20 min to complete the quiz  Show ALL your work for mathematic calculations  You can use a calculator (PHONE CALCULATOR USE NOT ALLOWED!)

2. Basic Word Structure (Medical Terminology)

4. 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)

5. 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

6. Dividing Words Into Component Parts  STUDY OF BLOOD

7. 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

8. Dividing Words Into Component Parts RECORD OF THE ELECTRICITY OF THE HEART https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_gzl_E7jmw

9. 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

10. Dividing Words Into Component Parts  INFLAMMATION OF THE STOMACH

11. 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

12. Dividing Words Into Component Parts  STUDY OF THE STOMACH AND INTESTINES

13. Dividing Words Into Component Parts  Root: (foundation)Gastr = stomach  Combining forms: can be used with many different suffixes

14. 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

15. 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
