MDTR 200  Objectives ✔ Apply basic principles of medical word building. ✔ Correctly pronounce medical terms. ✔ Define common medical terms in reproductive system. Introduction The human reproductive system is contains organs that are essential and allows us to produce offspring for the survival of the species, passing heredity traits from one generation to the next. The male and female reproductive systems include the gonads (ovaries and testes), where sex cells and hormones are produced, and other organs, ducts, and glands that transport and sustain the egg or sperm cell. Male reproductive system Functions: Produce sperm for fertilization Secrete hormones necessary for male sexual characteristics Organs of Male Reproductive System: Testes Vas deferens Prostate gland Seminal vesicles Urethra penis  WORD ROOTS FOR MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM PARTS WORD ROOT Sperm, spermatozoa Testicle Orchid/o, Orchi/o, Orch/o Prostate Gland Prostat/o Vas deferens Vas/o  Spermat/o, Sperm/o(i) = Sperm TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING spermatozoa Sperm male germ cells Spermat/o/genesis -Genesis: Formation formation of sperm Spermat/o/lysis -Lysis: Destruction Destruction of spermatozoa Spermat/o/blast -Blast: Immature cells An Immature sperm cell Spermat/o/pathy: -Pathy:disease Disease of the sperm  Orchid/o, Orchi/o, Orch/o = Testicle TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Orchi/o/pexy -pexy; Surgical repair of surgical fixation undescended testes Orchid/o/cele: -cele: Herniation of a testicle herniation or protrusion Orchid/o/tomy -tomy; Incision into a testicle incision Orchid/ectomy Ectomy; Removal of the testes removal Orchid/itis -itis; Infection of the testes infection Orchid/ -algia; Pain in the testes pain Prostat/o = Prostate Gland TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Prostat/ic ic; pertaining to the Pertaining prostate gland to Prostat/itis: itis Inflammation of prostate Prostat/algia algia Prostatic pain Prostat/ectomy: ectomy Excision of the prostate  Vas/o = (Many types of) vessels TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Vas/o/tomy -tomy: Incision into the vas making an incision deferens Vas/o/rrhaphy -rraphy- Suture of the vas deferens surgical repair with sutures Vas/o/stomy Stomy: Making a new opening into making an opening the vas deferens Vas/ectomy Ectomy: Removal of a segment of removal the vas deferens Andr/o, Andr/o = Male Andr/o/logy: Field of medicine that deals with diseases of men Andr/o/logist: Physician who specializes in male disesaes Andr/o/pathy: Any disease peculiar to men Introduction The combined organs of the female reproductive system are designed to produce and transport ova (female sex cells), discharge ova from the body if fertilization does not occur, and nourish and provide a place for the developing fetus throughout pregnancy if fertilization occurs. produces the female sex hormones estrogen and progesterone, Organs of the female reproductive system Vagina Cervix Uterus Fallopian Tubes Ovary Female Reproductive System Ovaries produce eggs (oöcytes) & hormones Uterine tubes transport the eggs Uterus where fetal development occurs Vagina or birth canal PART COMBINING FORM ovary oophor/o, ovari/o Ovum O/o vagina colp/o, vagin/o uterus hyster/o cervix cervic/o fallopian salping/o TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING O/o/blast -blast; An immature Immature embryonic egg cell cells O/o/genesis -genesis; The formation and formation development of an ovum  Oophor/o = Ovary (egg bearing) TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Oophor/ectomy -ectomy Excision of the ovary Oophor/itis -itis Inflammation of an ovary Oophor/oma -oma Tumor of an ovary Oophor/o/pexy -pexy Fixation of a displaced ovary  Salping/o = Fallopian Tubes TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Salping/o/scope -Scope An instrument used to examine Instrument to the fallopian tubes examine or visualize an organ Salping/o/stomy -stomy A new surgical opening made in fallopian tube Salping/itis -itis Inflammation of a fallopian tube Salping/ectomy -ectomy Excision of a fallopian tube Salpingo-oophor/i Inflammation of the fallopian tis tube and the ovary  Colp/o = Vagina TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Colp/itis: -itis Inflammation of the vagina Colp/o/pathy or -pathy Any disease of the Vaginopathy disease vagina Colp/o/dynia -dynia Vaginal pain pain Colp/o/spasm -spasm Vaginal spasm constriction Colp/ectomy -ectomy Excision of a part of the vagina  Colp/o = Vagina TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Colp/o/pexy -pexy Fixation of the vagina Surgical fixation Colp/o/plasty -plasty Surgical repair of the Surgical repair vagina Colp/o/scope -scope Instrument for examining the vagina Colp/o/tomy -tomy Incision into the vaginal wall  Hyster/o = Uterus TERMINOLOGIES SUFFIXES MEANING Hyster/ectomy -ectomy an excision of the uterus Hyster/o/tomy -tomy an incision into the uterus Hyster/o/gram -gram X-ray (picture) of the uterus Hyster/o/pathy -pathy Any disease of the uterus Hyster/o/cele: -cele Herniation of the uterus Hyster/o/scopy: -scopy The procedure of looking into the uterus Gynec/o, Gyn/e = Woman Gyne = woman Gynec/ology: Field of medicine that deals with diseases of women Gynec/ologist: Physician who specializes in female disorders Gynec/o/pathy: Any disease peculiar to women
