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

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. Root = foundation of term Suffix = word ending Prefix = word beginning
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

16. ax  aces ma  retain ma + ta
y  ies
