5
Body System Terms Skeletal : Bones and joints Muscular: Muscles and tendons Integumentary: Skin, hair, nails, and glands in skin
6
Body System Terms Sensory: Eyes, ears, nose, skin receptors, and mouth Cardiovascular: Heart, blood vessels, and blood Lymphatic: Tonsils, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and lymph fluid
7
Body System Terms Respiratory: Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs Gastrointestinal: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder Endocrine: Hormones, Pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and gonads

Medical Terms Medical Terms are composed of word part combinations consisting of: Prefix Root Combining vowel Suffix
11
Medical Terms: PREFIXES Consists of one or more syllables Placed at the beginning of word Can NEVER stand alone Like the train’s engine with its whistle Leads the train and announces the coming train Without the box cars there is not a complete train
12
Medical Terms: PREFIXES A-No, not, without away from Brady-Slow Dys-Bad, difficult, painful Epi-Upper Eryth-Red Hemi-Half Hemo-Blood Hyper-Above, increased, or more than normal Hypo-Below, Under, or decreased Infra-Below or beneath
13
Medical Terms: PREFIXES Inter-Between Intra-Within Meta-Beyond Poly-Many Sub-Below, under, or decreased Super-Above, increased, or more than normal Supra-Above, increased, or more than normal Tachy-Fast Trans-Across Ultra-Above, increased, or more than normal
14
Medical Terms: PREFIXES For example: operative Pre- means before. Preoperative means before or preceding an operation Peri- means around. Perioperative means pertaining to the period around an operation; before, during or after Post- means after. Postoperative means after an operation
15
Medical Terms: PREFIXES PRACTICE a-, an- (without or not having) brady- (slow) de- (remove, take away, loss of) dys- (difficult, troubled) hyper- (high) 1._________ biotic (against life) 2. _________thermia (high temperature) 3. _________horn (remove the horn)
16
Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS ROOT- Main part and core meaning of word Gives you a general idea of what you’re dealing with
17
Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS TermDefinition Abdomin/oAbdomen Aden/oGland Audi/oHearing BioLife Brachi/oArm Bronchi/oBronchus Carcin/oCancer Cardi/oHeart Cephal/pHead Col/oColon Cyt/oCell Dent/i/oTeeth Derm/a/o – Dermat/oSkin Encephal/oBrain
18
Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS TermDefinition Gastr/oStomach Gynec/oFemale Hemat/oBlood Hist/o – Histi/oTissue Intestin/oIntestine Lapar/oAbdomen, loin, flank Lymph/oLymph vessels Mamm/a – Mamm/oMammary Gland Nas/oNose Opthalm/oEye Ot/oEar Steth/oChest Thorac/oThorax Trache/oTrachea
19
Medical Terms: SUFFIXES End of a word Indicates procedure, condition, disease, or disorder. Cannot stand alone Like a caboose, its always last
20
MEDICAL TERMS: SUFFIXES TermDefinition -algiaPain -cyteCell -ectomySurgical removal -graphyRecording of -iasisInfestation or infection -ismState or condition -itisInflammation -lysisDestruction of -megalyAbnormally large -ology/ologistSpecialist/study of -omaTumor -osisAbnormal condition -oxiaoxygen
21

22
Medical Terms: COMBINING FORMS Many medical words need a letter to connect the prefix to the root or the root to the suffix
23
Medical Terms: COMBINING FORMS Vowel commonly used: “o” If the suffix starts with a consonant connect the root word and the suffix with the vowel “o” Root Word +CVSuffixNew word Cardi+-O--logyCardiology “heart”Study ofStudy of the heart
24
MEDICAL TERMS: COMBINING FORMS If the suffix starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) DO NOT USE the vowel “o”. Just attach the suffix to the root word. Root Word+SuffixNew word Hepat/o-osisHepatosis liver-disease processDisease in the liver
25
Medical terms: Combining Forms If the suffix begins with the same vowel as the root word, DO NOT repeat the vowel. Root word+SuffixNew word Cardi-itisCarditis heart-inflammation of-inflammation of the heart
26
Medical Terms: Suffixes Word Erthrocyte: Appendectomy: Cardiomegaly: Arthritis: Biology: Carcinoma: Stethoscope: Dermatitis: Hemolysis Hemiplegia: PRACTICE
27
Medical Terms: SUFFIXES Meaning Red Blood Cell To surgically remove appendix Abnormally large heart Inflammation of the joints The study of life Cancerous tumor Instrument for examining heart Inflammation of skin Destruction of blood Paralysis of ½ the body
28
Medical Terms: Practice Any of these combinations work: Prefix + Suffix Prefix + Root Root + Suffix Prefix + Root + Suffix Prefixes never stand alone Suffixes never stand alone

Directional Terminology Doctors and Veterinarians use specific terminology to identify certain locations on the body
31
Directional Terminology Caudal – towards the tail Cranial – towards the head (Frontal)
32
Directional Terminology Deep – further from the surface Superficial – closer to the surface
33
Directional Terminology Dorsal – along the back or uppermost surface Ventral – along the belly
34
Directional Terminology Distal – part of the limb furthest from the body Proximal – part of the limb closest to the body
35
Directional Terminology Anterior – front of the animal Posterior – rear of the animal
36
Directional Terminology Median – body plane that divides the animal into “equal” right and left halves
37
Directional Terminology Sagittal – any body plane that is parallel to the median plane (doesn’t divide equally)
38
Directional Terminology Transverse – body plane that divides the body into cranial and caudal parts
39
Directional Terminology Lateral – the far side of the animal Medial – the near side of the animal

Case Studies Physical examination Bilbo a neutered male dog, was quiet but alert and responsive. Body condition score was 5/9. Mucous membranes were pale but capillary refill time was normal. Respiratory rate was 40 breaths per minute with some increased effort; heart rate was 160 beats per minute. Thoracic auscultation revealed a grade 4/6 left systolic murmur in the mitral area; faint diffuse crackles were heard in the lungs, no arrhythmias were heard. Abdominal palpation was unremarkable. Pulses were fair and regular.

Case Studies Physical examination Yofie NM, DLH, was thin but BAR and aggressive at times during PX. His mucous membranes were pink, with a CRT of less than 3 seconds; his TPR were all WNL. His body condition score (BCS) of 3/5 represented wt loss since his last office visit, 3 yr ago (BCS: 4/5). His activity score was 7/10 ("10" being normal activity level as perceived by the client). Auscultation of the heart and lungs and abdominal palpation were WNL.
