4 Word Parts Word Root: Fundamental meaning of a medical term Prefix: Attached to beginning of a medical term to modify its meaning Suffix: Attached to end of a medical term to modify its meaning Combining Vowel: Used to ease pronunciation - usually an “o” (e, i, or u)

Examples of Word Roods

Combining Forms (CF) Combining Form (CF) is a Word Root (WR) plus a vowel, usually an “o” Usually indicates a body part

Combining Forms Examples Cardi/ + o = cardi/o heart gastr/ + o = gastr/o stomach hepat/ + o = hepat/o liver nephr/ + o = nephr/o kidney oste/ + o = oste/o bone

Prefixes A prefix is a syllable or syllables placed BEFORE a word or word root to alter its meaning or create a new word. Some prefixes: Hyper- (excessive) Pre- (before) Post- (after) Homo- (same) Hypo- (under)

Examples of Prefix A- mast -ia without breast condition hyper- therm -ia excessive heat condition intra- muscul -ar in muscle relating to

Some Prefixes Peri + cardio + logy = pericardiology (around) (heart-pericardium) (study of) Hyper + therm + -ia = hyperthermia (excessive) ( heat) (condition) Intra + muscul + -ar = intramuscular (in, within) (muscle) (relating to) Macro + gloss + -ia = macroglossia (large - enlargement) (tongue) (condition)
