Apply basic Principles of medical word building Correctly pronounce medical terms Define common medical terms Relates common medical terms to human anatomy & physiology; common disease states, pharmacology categories and diagnostic tests.  Identify the medical terminology in medical record reports.  Analyze the terminology related to drugs.       Introduction:  Medical terminology is a specialized language used by health care practitioners for effective and accurate communication.  It’s used to accurately describe the human body and the associated components conditions, and processes affecting it, and medical procedures, diseases, disorders, and treatments in a science-based manner.  Medical terminology began to become standardized by Hippocrates the ‘father of medicine’ (460–377 B.C.), and Claudius Galen, one of the most legendary doctors in the Roman Empire.  Thus, most medical terms are derived from Latin and Greek languages. Body part Greek root in English with example Latin root in English with example  Lungs Pneumon- Pneumonia Pulmo- Pulmonary System  Kidney Nephr(O)- Nephritis Ren(O)- Renal Failure  Nose Rhin(O)- Rhinoplasty Nas- Nasal Cavity  Skin Derm- Dermal Cut-, Subcutaneous  Nerve Neur(O)- Neuron Nerv- Nervous System Most medical terms can be divided into component parts: roots, prefixes, and suffixes that maintain the same meaning whenever they appear. By learning these meanings, you can analyze and remember many words. 2 There are two major categories of medical terms: 1- Descriptive: describing shape, color, size, function, etc., and 2- Eponyms, literally "putting a name upon". Eponym has been used to honor those who first discovered or described an anatomical structure or diagnosed a disease or first developed a medical instrument or procedure. Some examples of eponyms are Fallopian tubes (uterine tubes - Gabriello Fallopio) Eustachian tubes (auditory tubes - Bartolommeo Eustachii) Parkinson's disease (neurodegenerative disorder - James Parkinson) Alzheimer's disease (loss of memory -Alois Alzheimer) Pasteurization (heating of milk - Louis Pasteur) The problem with eponyms is that they give no useful information about what is or where to find the item name Basic Elements of a Medical Word (word Parts): Many medical terms are formed from two or more-word parts. It may also contain one or more prefixes and one or more suffixes. The four types of word parts used to create medical terms are:  1- Word Root The word root is the fundamental unit of each medical word. It establishes the main part or the basic meaning of the word and is the part to which modifying word (prefixes and suffixes) are added. All words have at least one word root A word root may be used alone or combined with other elements to form a complete word. The word root usually refers to a body part. Some root words are derived from the Latin or Greek language. 3 Word Root Examples o “Therm” means o “Dent” means o “Dermat” means o “Cardi” means o “Gastr” means o “Hepat” means o “Arthr” means o “Hem” means o “Crani” means heat tooth skin heart stomach liver joint blood skull  2- Combining forms When a suffix or another root beginning with a consonant is added to a root, a vowel is inserted between the root and the next word part to aid in pronunciation. The combining vowel is usually an “o”, but others “e or i”may be used. eg: Gastr / o Word root pronounced Gastro. Combining vowel  When a word has more than one root, a combining vowel is used to link the root to each other. oste/ o / arthr/ itis Word root Word root Combining vowel  3- Suffixes A suffix is a word ending. It’s added to the END of a word root or combining form to modify its meaning and to create a noun or adjective with a different meaning of that word root. 4 suffix For example, the suffix - oid, meaning “like or resembling,” helps to form the word fibroid, meaning “made of fibrous tissue.” o Suffix usually derived from Greek or Latin o Suffix usually indicates a procedure, condition, or disease o A combining vowel is used between a word root and a suffix that begins with a consonant (not a vowel) to make pronunciation easier.  Arthr joint /o -centesis puncture Arthrocentesis puncture of a joint  Throac chest /o -tomy incision Thoracotomy incision of the chest  Gastr stomach /o -megaly enlargement Gastromegaly enlargement of the stomach  Scler hardening /o -derma skin Scleroderma hardening of the skin  4- Prefixes A prefix is word element that placed at the beginning of a word that modify or changes the meaning of the word or create a new word. Usually indicates a number, time, position, direction, color, or sense of negation. For example, the prefix peri -, meaning “around, near, surrounding,” helps to form the word pericardium, meaning “around or surrounding the heart.” Examples of Prefix o Hyper- (excessive) o Intra- (in) o Poly- (many) Hyperexcessive Intrain Polymany therm heat muscul muscle cythem red cells  Defining Medical Words Three steps for defining medical words -ia condition -ar relating to -ia condition Step 1. Define the suffix, or last part of the word Step 2. Define the first part of the word (which may be a word root, combining form, or prefix). Step 3. Define the middle parts of the word. 5 Hypo insulin emia Leuko cyto penia Root Root White suffix Decrease Cell Bone Root Joint Root Low Insulin suffix Blood Hyper glyc emia osteo arthr itis Root Prefix suffix Inflammation Prefix Root suffix High Glucose Blood  Word Roots Examples on word roots / combining form for organs: WORD ROOT MEANING Arabic  Dent/o teeth ‫أﺳﻨﺎن‬ Dentist  Glosso/ Lingu tongue ‫ﻟﺴﺎن‬ Glossitis, Sublingual  Gingiv/o gums ‫اﻟﻠﺜﺔ‬ Gingivitis  Encephal/o brain ‫اﻟﺪﻣﺎغ‬ Encephalitis  Gastr/o stomach ‫ﻣﻌﺪة‬ Gastritis  Enter/o intestine ‫اﻷﻣﻌﺎء‬  Hepato liver ‫اﻟﻜﺒﺪ‬ Hepatitis, Hepatomegaly  Nephro/ Rene kidney ‫اﻟﻜﻠﻰ‬ Nephrosis, Renal artery  Hyster/o / Metr/o uterus ‫اﻟﺮﺣﻢ‬ Hysterectomy, endometritis  Derm/o skin ‫ﺑﺸﺮة‬ Dermatitis  Masto/ Mammo breast ‫اﻟﺜﺪي‬ Mammography, Mastectomy  Oste/o bones ‫ﻋﻈﺎم‬ Osteoporosis  Cardi/o heart ‫ﻗﻠﺐ‬ Electrocardiogram (ECG)  Cyst/o bladder ‫ﻣﺜﺎﻧﺔ‬ Cystitis  Rhin/o nose ‫أﻧﻒ‬ Rhinitis (runny nose!)  Pneum/o / Pulm/o lung ‫رﺋﺔ‬ Pneumonitis, Pulmonologist 6 EXAMPLE Gastroenteritis Word Roots and Combining Forms Indicating Color: WORD ROOT MEANING EXAMPLE  cyan/o blue  erythr/o red Cyanosis is blue discoloration of the skin caused by a lack of adequate oxygen in the blood Eerythrocyte is a mature red blood cell  leuk/o white leukocyte is a white blood cell  melan/o black  poli/o gray Melanosis is any condition of unusual deposits of black pigment in body tissues or organs Poliomyelitis is a viral infection of the gray matter of the spinal cord  xanth(o) yellow Xanthoderma is yellowish skin  Categories of Prefixes There are six logical divisions: 1-Time or Speed 2- Direction 3- Position 4- Number and Measurement 5- Size and Comparison 6- Negation 1- Prefixes Of Time Or Speed Prefixes anteprePro- Meaning before before, in front of before, in front of Example antepartum premature prodrome post- after, behind postnatal brady- abnormally slow rate bradycardia tachy- rapid, high rate tachypnea ‫ ﺗﺴﺎرع اﻟﻨﻔﺲ‬rapid breathing neo- new neonate ‫ ﺣﺪﯾﺚ اﻟﻮﻻدة‬a newborn child 2- Prefixes Of Direction Prefixes abadconcontracircumdiapertrans- Meaning away from, outside of, toward, near to with against around through through through Meaning ‫اﻟﻤﺜﺎل‬ ‫ ﻗﺒﻞ اﻟﻮﻻدة‬before birth ‫ ﻗﺒﻞ اواﻧﮫ‬occurring before the proper time ‫ ﺑﺎدرة‬symptom that precedes a disease ‫ ﺑﻌﺪ اﻟﻮﻻدة‬after birth ‫ ﺑﻂء اﻟﻘﻠﺐ‬slow heart beat rate Example ‫ اﻟﻤﺜﺎل‬Meaning abnormal ‫ ﻏﯿﺮ طﺒﯿﻌﻲ‬not normal adjective congenital contraindication circumrenal diarrhea percutaneous transected 7 ‫ اﻟﺼﻔﺔ‬toward a noun ‫ وﻻدي‬with (or at) birth ‫ ﻣﻮاﻧﻊ اﻻﺳﺘﻄﺒﺎب‬withhold medical treatment ‫ ﻣﺤﯿﻂ‬around the kidney ‫ إﺳﮭﺎل‬frequent discharge of fluid stool ‫ ﻋﻦ طﺮﯾﻖ اﻟﺠﻠﺪ‬through the skin ‫ ﻣﻘﻄﻮع‬cut (sectioned) through or across 3- Prefixes Of Position - Prefixes of position are commonly used during diagnostic and treatment procedures.
