Body Structure Medical Terminology Chapter 5
2
Student Objectives n Define the levels of organization in the human body. n Describe the disease process by defining terms associated with pathology. n Identify four body planes. n Relate organs to each body cavity.
3
Student Objectives n Describe the four quadrants n Describe radiology, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and ultrasonography. n Apply directional terms. n Identify combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes related to body structure.
4
Student Objectives n Identify diagnostic, symptomatic, and therapeutic terms related to body structure. n Identify diagnostic procedures related to body structure.
5
Student Objectives n Identify surgical and therapeutic procedures related to body structure. n Define the abbreviations related to body structure.
6
Levels of Organization n Cells, Cytology n Tissues, Histology –epithelial –connective –muscle –nervous n Organs n Systems n Organism
7
Disease Process n Disease, morbid n signs, objective n symptoms, subjective n homeostasis n pathology n etilogy n diagnosis, prognosis n idiopathic

35
End Chapter Five
36
Peritoneum n parietal n visceral n mesentery n retroperitoneal n peritonitis
37
Genetic Disorder / Hereditary Disorder Any disease or condition caused by defective genes. cystic fibrosis Down syndrome (trisomy 21) hemophilia muscular dystrophy
38
Congenital disorder Is present at birth or existing at the time of birth. Gene abnormalities account for about 5 percent of congenital heart disease. fetal alcohol syndrome congenital anomaly
39
Histology n Epithelial –epithelium - external surfaces - epi –endothelium - internal surfaces - endo n Connective – bones and cartilage – adipose n Nervous
40
- plasia n aplasia-lack of development of organ/tissue n hypoplasia-incomplete development n hyperplasia-abnormal increase in number of normal cells in normal tissue arrangement n dysplasia-abnormal development or growth n anaplasia - change in structure of cells and in their orientation to each other-- characteristic of malignancy
41
Neoplasm (tumor) Any abnormal new growth of tissue in which the multiplication of cells is uncontrolled, more rapid than normal, and progressive. ne/o - means new or strange n benign - usually not recurring, not malignant n malignant - tending to spread, life- threatening Any abnormal new growth of tissue in which the multiplication of cells is uncontrolled, more rapid than normal, and progressive. ne/o - means new or strange n benign - usually not recurring, not malignant n malignant - tending to spread, life- threatening
