,1 Introduction to medical terminology
1.1 The three types of medical terms
 Latin/Greek word parts: cardiology, tonsillectomy
 Eponym: based on a person’s name ex. Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease
 Modern English words: MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), irritable bowel
syndrome
1.2 Elements of Latin/Greek based medical terms
1.2.1 Word Roots
= gives the essential meaning of the term. It tells you which part of the body, structure, organ
or system it refers to.

Word Root Meaning
Arthr Joint (gewricht)
Carcin Cancer
Cardi Heart
Cephal Head
Electr Electricity
Gastr Stomach
Hepat Liver
Myf Muscle
Oste Bone
Rhin Nose

1.2.2 Suffixes
= at the end
= most important part, it tells you what’s about
= always a suffix
1.2.3 Prefixes
= at the beginning
= abnormal conditions, numbers, positions or times
= not always a prefix

1.2.4 Combining vowels
= connect word parts & to make medical terms easier to spell and to pronounce
= placed between a word root – suffix or between two word roots
= aren’t used between a prefix- word root

Terms with combining vowels Meaning
Electr-o-cardi-o-gram Record of heart’s electrical (activity)
Hepat-o-megaly Enlarged liver
Oste-o-arthr-itis Bone and joint inflammation
Rhin-o-plasty Surgical repair of the nose

Aren’t always necessary:
 Look at the first letter of the suffix. Don’t use a combining vowel between a word root
– suffix  suffix begins in a vowel ex. Arthr-itis – Arthr-o-itis
 Place a combining vowel between two word roots  The second word root begins
with a vowel ex. Gastr-o-enter-o-logy – gastr-enter-o-logy

Pagina 2 van 32

,1.2.5 Combining forms
= consist of a word root & its combining vowel
= Isn’t another category of word part because it consists of two other word parts.

Hepat/o Liver
Cardi/o Heart
Gastr/o Stomach
My/o Muscle
Oste/o Bone
Arthr/o Joint

1.3 Strategies for analyzing medical terms
1.3.1 Defining medical terms
Follow these simple steps:
1. Divide the term into its word parts
2. Define each word part
3. Put the meaning of the word parts together in order to see what the term is describing
Ex. Dysmenorrhea
1. Dys/men/o/rrhea
2. Dys- prefix meaning abnormal, difficult, painful
Men/o combining form meaning menses, menstruation
-rrhea suffix meaning discharge, flow
3. Abnormal, difficult, or painful menstrual flow
1.3.2 Building medical terms
1. Selecting/choosing word parts that represent each portion of the phrase ex. Fibrous
skin tumour
Fibr/o combining form meaning fibrous
Dermat/o combining form meaning skin
-oma suffix meaning tumour, mass
2. Place the word parts in the correct order to complete the whole term ex.
Dermatofibroma

To gain a quick understanding of a term, it may be helpful for you to read from the end of the
word (Suffix) back to the beginning (prefix), and then pick up the word root. Ex. Endocarditis
Reads inflammation (itis); inner, within (endo); the heart (cardi). The complete term means
inflammation of the inner (lining) of the heart.

1.4 Rules for building plurals

If the word ends in Singular plural

-a, keep -a and add -e Vertebra vertebrae

-ax, drop -x, and add -ces Thorax Thoraces

-is, drop -is and add -es Metastasis Metastases

-ix , drop -x and add -ces Appendix Appendices

-on, drop -on and add -a Spermatozoon Spermatozoa

-us, drop -us and add -i Alveolus Alveoli

-um, drop -um and add -a Ovum Ova

-x, drop -x and add -ges Phalanx Phalanges

-y, drop -y and add -ies Biopsy Biopsies
