45. Writing out Medical Terminology When writing out medical terms for most instances the suffix indicates the last part of the term first. Example: Inflammation of the stomach is gastritis When putting together a combing word and a suffix you do not use the letter “O” at the end of the combing word if the suffix begins with a vowel, but you use the letter “O” if the suffix begins with a consonant Example: Gastr/o + -itis = Gastritis Example: Leuk/o + -cyte = Leukocyte

46. Decoding Medical Terminology When defining medical terms normally the suffix is said first, followed by the combining word. Example: Gastrologist - one who studies the stomach If a medical term has a prefix and a combining word you normally say it in the order it is written. Example: Bradycardia - slow heart rate If there is a prefix, a combining word, and a suffix, you say the suffix first and then the prefix and then the middle word Example: Endoabdominalgia - pain within the abdomen
