Medical Terminology

Medical terminology is a system of words and phrases used to describe the body, its parts, and various medical procedures and conditions.

Roots and Prefixes

Roots are the core of a medical term, conveying the main meaning or idea.
Prefixes are attached to roots to modify or expand the meaning.

Suffixes

Suffixes are attached to roots to indicate the grammatical function of the word.
Suffixes can indicate the part of speech, such as -itis for inflammation.

Combining Forms

Combining forms are roots with a vowel added to the end, making it easier to combine with other roots and prefixes.
Examples: gastr/o (stomach), cardi/o (heart).
