Medical word origins are usually from the Greek and Latin languages. Some medical terms: 1. Esophagus: the tube that connects your throat with your stomach. Esophagus comes from Greek words which mean” swallows what we eat". 2. Placenta: means a "flat cake" in Greek, simply describing its shape. 4  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) Eponyms A person after whom a discovery, invention, place, etc., is named by. ⚫ Examples of eponyms 1. Bartolommeo Eustachii: Eustachian tubes (auditory tubes). Eustachian tube is to equalize air pressure between the atmosphere and the middle ear 5  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) 2. Gabriello Fallopio: Fallopian tubes (uterine tubes). They are named after a 16th century Italian anatomist, Gabriello Fallopio. 6  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) 3- Addison's disease A medical disorder characterized by inadequate production of the steroid hormones (cortisol and aldosterone) by the adrenal glands. 7  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) It was named after Thomas Addison, the British physician who first described the condition (1855). Cortisol is a hormone released by adrenal glands during times of stress Aldosterone is a hormone released by adrenal glands and plays a role in regulating blood pressure. Basic Parts to Medical Terms There are three basic parts to medical terms: 1. Prefix: 8  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) Is a short word part added before a root to modify its meaning , Prefixes are indicated by a dash after it such as pre-. 2. Root: Is the fundamental unit of each medical word It is the part to which modifying prefixes and suffixes are added. 3. Suffix: Is a short word part added at the end of a root to modify its meaning. Suffixes are indicated by a dash before the suffix, such as -itis. Examples: ▪ Hypothermia (Hypo-therm-ia) (low temperature): Prefix: hypo = low Root: therm = heat=temperature. Suffix: ia = condition. 9  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) Hypothermia means low body temperature than normal. ▪ Hyperthermia (high temperature) Prefix: hyper = high Root: therm = heat=temperature. Suffix: ia = condition. Hyperthermia means high body temperature than normal. ▪ Hyperglycemia (Increased blood glucose levels) Prefix: hyper Root: glycem = glucose. Suffix: ia = condition. 10  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) ▪ Hypoglycemia Prefix: …………… Root: ………….. Suffix: …………. ▪ Myocarditis Prefix: myo = muscle. Root: card = heart. Suffix: itis = inflammation. Myo-card-itis = inflamed muscle layer of heart. Peri-card-itis = inflamed outer layer of heart. Endo-card-itis = inflamed inner layer of heart. 11  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) COMBINING FORMS Defined as the combination of the root and the combining vowel When a suffix begins with a consonant 12  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) (all English letters except A, U, E, I, O). A combining vowel (usually an O) is added between a root and a suffix. Combining form = Root + Combining vowel+ suffix Examples: Neurology = neur + o + logy The root = neur , means “nerve or nervous system. A combining vowel = o is added The suffix = logy, meaning “study of” Neurology = (study of the nervous system) Nephroma The root = nephr , means “functional unit of the kidney which is composed of a renal corpuscle and a renal tubule.. A combining vowel = o is added 13  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) The suffix = oma, meaning “tumor” Nephroma = (kidney tumor) Hepatoma The root = hepat, means “liver” A combining vowel = o is added The suffix = oma, meaning “tumor” Hepatoma = (Liver tumor) Synonym: A word having the same or almost the same meaning as another word Word Synonym 14  Medical Terminology (FAC-102) Inadequate Deficient/ lacking/ weak/ incomplete Decrease Diminish/ decline/ low Increase Raised/ enhanced/ high Chapter 1 Questions: Prefix is defined as ………………………………………… Root is defined as ………………………………………….
