Presentations for PowerPoint Introduction to Medical Terminology Chapter 2 Basics of the Body Learning Outcomes (1 of 2) After studying this chapter, you will be able to identify and define the roles of the basic word parts used to build descriptive terms of the body, including anatomical positions, planes, and positioning terms; identify and describe body cavities, abdominal quadrants and regions, and organs found in each; identify the organization of the body; correctly pronounce medical terms using phonetic spellings; Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc.

Learning Outcomes (2 of 2) After studying this chapter, you will be able to correctly spell medical terms; combine word parts to build new medical terms and dissect medical terms into their word parts; interpret medical abbreviations; and understand basic anatomical terms.

Medical Word Parts Medical word parts make up many of the terms used to describe the anatomy and physiology of the human body. In this section, you will learn medical word parts related to anatomical terms of: location; position; direction; and structures. Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc.

An organ is a collection of tissues working together to perform a particular function. A body system consists of a group of organs that work together to perform a specific function. An organism is a life form made up of interdependent parts (cells, tissues, organs, and body systems), all of which work together to maintain life. Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc.
