9. Word Roots
Word roots usually, but not always, indicate the part of the body involved.
Examples:
cardi = heart
gastr = stomach
neur = nerve
Note: Word roots do not mean pertaining to or relating to; that meaning comes from the suffix. 9

10. Combining Forms
Created by adding a vowel (usually the letter “o”) to the end of a word root.
Used when connecting word roots or when the word root is joined to a suffix that begins with a consonant.
Examples:
cardi/o = heart
gastr/o = stomach
neur/o = nerve

11. Suffixes
Suffixes usually, but not always, indicate the procedure, condition, disorder, or disease.
Examples:
cardiomegaly
gastralgia
neuritis

12. Prefixes
Prefixes usually, but not always, indicate location, time, number, or status.
Examples:
pericardium
epigastric
polyneuritis
