Medical Terminology uɐɯǝɹ  Word Analysis Word root: gives essential meaning of the term Suffix: word ending Prefix: small part added to the beginning of a term Combining vowels: connects roots to suffix and root to root The vowels are ( E , Y , I , O , A ) we usually use O to connect medical terms. Combining form: combination of the root and the vowel Three General Rules: 1- Read the meaning of the medical terms from the suffix back to the beginning of the word and across 2- Drop the combining vowel (usually O) before a suffix with a vowel For example: gastritis not gastroitis ( the deleted cuz of the i in itis) 3- Keep the combining vowel between two roots: For example: gastroenterology not gastrenterology (we kept the O cuz there’s two roots) Things to know: We use ( IC , AC , AL ) to pertain something For examples: (Gastric , Cardiac , Cerebral) we can’t change between them so memorize it ! adenoma : tumor of a gland adenitis : inflammation of a gland arthritis: inflammation of a joint biology : the study of life biopsy: removing living tissue to view under a microscope; The suffix -opsy means process of viewing.
