FOUNDATION OF MEDICAL TERMS

STRUCTURE OF MEDICAL WORDS

Most medical words are composed of two or more terms. To define a medical word:

divide the word into its terms

analyze the terms

define the word

Examples:

Pericarditis

Peri – around, card – heart, itis – inflammation

Inflammation around the heart

Oncology

Onco – tumor, logy – study of

Study of turmors

MEDICAL TERMS

There are five categories of terms:

1. Prefix – beginning of a word (such as pre- or post-)

2. Suffix – ending of a word (such as -ology or –itis)

3. Root – foundation base of the word (such as hepat or gastr)

4. Combining vowel – vowel usually an “o” added to the root word (such as gastro)

Use a combining vowel when joining:

a. root to another root (such as gastrohepititis)

b. root to a suffix beginning with a consonant (such as cardiomegaly)

5. Combining form – root plus vowel (such as hepat/o or gastr/o)

Designated by a “/” between the root and the vowel

Examples:

Hyperleukocytosis

Hyper (prefix) – excessive

leuko (combining form) – white

cyt (root) – cell

osis (suffix) – condition of

Definition: condition of excessive white

blood cells

Hematotoxic

Hemato (combining form) – blood

tox (root) – toxic

ic (suffix) – pertaining to

Definition: pertaining to blood poisoning

TIPS

1. Some terms have more than one definition. To determine the correct definition in a particular

medical word, analyze the other terms in the word.

Example: Poliomyelitis polio – gray (matter); myel – spinal cord, bone marrow; itis – inflammation

Definition: Inflammation of the gray matter of the spinal cord. Note: bone marrow does not have gray matter.

2. Some terms may function as a root/combining form in one word and a suffix in another word.

Classification depends upon them in a medical word.

Example: Cytology cyto (combining form) – cell; logy (suffix) – study of Definition: Study of cells

Erythrocyte erythro (combining form) – red; cyte (suffix) – cell Definition: Red blood cell
