Basic Word Structure Chapter 1

Objectives Divide medical words into their component parts. Find the meaning of basic combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes of the medical language. Use these combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes to build medical words.

How to study Medical Language Analyze words by dividing them into their component parts. Relate the medical terms to the structure and function of the human body. Be aware of spelling and pronunciation problems.

Word Analysis Root: Foundation of the word - also known as the combining form. Usually indicates the body part Suffix: word ending Prefix: word beginning Combining Vowel: Usually an “o”; links the root to the suffix or the root to another root.

Suffixes End of the word Usually indicate the procedure, condition, disorder or disease

Suffixes Ac (adjective) pertaining to Um (noun ending) person, place or thing Pathology suffixes: -itis, -megaly, -algia, -necrosis Procedures: -centesis, -ectomy, -plasty “rr’s”: -rrhea, -rrhaphy, -rrhage

Prefixes Time/Event Pre: before Peri: surrounding Post: after Location retro-, sub-, endo- Number uni-, poly-, tri- Status auto-, a-, an-

Contrasting and Confusing Prefixes Ab - away from dys - bad, difficult, painful hyper - excessive or increased inter - between or among sub - under, less, or below Ad - forward, in the direction of eu - good, normal, well or easy hypo - deficient or decreased intra - within or inside supra - above or excessive

RULES Read the meaning of medical terms from the suffix back to the beginning of the term across. Drop the combining vowel (usually o) before a suffix beginning with a vowel. Keep the combining vowel between 2 roots. Do not use combining vowel after a prefix

Examples HEMATOLOGY HEMAT/ O/ LOGY root suffix combining vowel
