Chapter 1 and 2
Intro to Terminology

2. Objectives Identify and recognize the parts of a medical term
Define commonly used prefixes/suffixes, combining forms, and suffixes presented in this chapter
Analyze and understand basic medical terms
Practice pronunciation of medical terms

3. Unit Concept Map Unit Name: Intro to Vet Terms (Cptr 1 and 2)
Unit EQ: Why is medical terminology important to understand?
Daily EQs:
What are the major parts of a term?
Vocabulary:

4. Warm Up Any guess’? Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
(Yeah that’s one word and its real)

5. Essential Question
What are the major parts of a term?

6. Vet Terminology Every word has main parts Parts of the sandwich
Like a sandwich
Parts of the sandwich
Prefix (bread)
Root (meat)
Combining vowel (lettuce)
Combining form (tomatoes)
Suffix (bread)

7. Vet Terms Used every day Current vocab
Based on terms of Greek and Latin Origin
Eponyms: words formed from a person’s name
Better understanding of Latin and Greek = better understanding

8. Prefixes Found at the beginning Indicates #, location, time or status
Two types
Contrasting
Directional
Example:
Ab- means away from

9. Activity :Prefix De-coder
1 sheet of lined paper
Fold it in half (long ways like a hot dog)
Put the Prefixes on one half, definition on the other
Perform this for both contrasting and Directional prefixes

10. Is there a Prefix in this word?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

11. Root Words Give essential meaning to the word Is there a root word ?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

12. Combining Vowel Normally single Usually an o
I and E also used
Added to the of a root word to make it easier to pronounce
When 2 or more root words are joined
Not used when the suffix begins with a vowel
Example:
Gastro/o + enter/o = gastroenteritis
How many?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

13. Combining Forms Root word + a combining vowel
Usually describe part of the body
New words are created when prefixes + combining forms and suffixes
Example
Panleukopenia
Pan: prefix meaning all
Leuk/o : combining forms meaning white
-penia : suffix meaning decifiency
All together word means:
Deficiency of all types of white blood cells

14. Combining forms?
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

15. Suffixes Attached to end of words Modify meaning Types:
“Pertaining to”
Surgical
Procedural
Double R
Conditional and Structural

16. Analyzing Medical Terms
1. Dissect
Divide word into basic components
2.Begin at the end
Suffix first, then prefix, then root
2 root words? Divide and read left -> right
3. Anatomical Order
How does it occur in the body?

17. Practice Together Ovariohysterectomy Ovari/o/hyster/ectomy
SUFFIX -ectomy- removal
PREFIX Ovari/o – ovary
ROOT Hysteri/o- uterus

20. Chapter 2 Positional Terminology
Intro To Vet Studies
Chapter 2
Positional Terminology

21. Objectives
ID body planes, positional terms, directional terms, and body cavities
Define terms related to body cavities
ID body systems by their components

22. Warm Up
What does this show?

23. Essential Question
Why is positional terminology critical?

24. Learn–ology -ology Anatomy: study of body structure
“the study of”
Anatomy: study of body structure
Physiology: study of body functions
Pathology: study of the cause, nature & development of abnormal conditions
Pathophysiology: study of changes in function caused by disease
Etiology: study of disease

25. Positional terms
Important for accurately and concisely describing body locations and relationships of structures
In/Out, Up/Down etc
Not specific enough !

26. Activity: Directional De-Coder
1 sheet of lined paper
Fold it in half (long ways like a hot dog)
Put the directional words on one half, definition on the other
Table 2-1 in your book

27. Show what you know Grab a stuffed animal
Represent the planes you’ve learned with your stuffed animal!
“Simon says”

38. Glands: Important Cell Types
Specialized cell that secrete material used elsewhere in the body
Types
Endocrine: secrete directly into the blood stream
Exocrine: secrete into the duct system
