Veterinary Medical Terminology Introduction

Objectives Identify and recognize parts of a medical term. Define commonly used prefixes, combining forms, and suffixes. Recognize the importance of spelling terms correctly.

Introduction Medical terminology is used frequently in veterinary medicine. Terms are derived from Greek and Latin origins.

Anatomy of a Term prefix - word part found at the beginning of a word. root - word part giving essential meaning of the word. combining vowel - single vowel, usually ‘o’, that is added to the root to make pronunciation easier.

Anatomy of a Term combining form - combination of root and combining vowel. suffix - word part found at the end of a word.

Prefixes Examples operative - involving an operation (pre)operative - before an operation (peri)operative - period around operation (post)operative - after an operation

Combining Vowels Example = o arthr(o)scope - arthr + scope - instrument used to visually examine a joint

Combining Form Examples cardi/o - heart leuk/o - white hepat/o - liver

Examples gastr/o - stomach gastro(tomy) - incision into stomach gastr(ectomy) - removal of the stomach Suffixes

Analyzing Medical Terms 1. Dissect: divide into basic components 2. Begin at the end: define suffix, then prefix, then roots from left to right 3. Put into anatomical order - define words in order that they are found in the body Breakdown: ovariohysterectomy

Dissect - ovari/o/hyster/ectomy Begin at the end - ectomy = surgical removal; ovari/o = ovary; hysteri/o = uterus surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus AKA - spay!

Changing one letter can change entire word meaning!!! Hepatoma is a liver mass; hematoma is a mass of blood. Ileum is part of the small intestine; ilium is part of the pelvic bone. Spelling

Commonly Used a- without, lack of post- after cardi/o - pertaining to the heart gastr/o - pertaining to the stomach -itis - inflammation -oma - tumor

Conclusion Medical terminology is used in Vet Tech DAILY. Terms must be pronounced and spelled correctly. You must be able to dissect a term to figure out its meaning.
