Veterinary Terminology At the completion of this unit students will be able to Match scientific names with their appropriate species Define medical terms related to each body system Identify prefixes, suffixes, and root words, in order to define medical terms Decipher directional terminology Define medical abbreviations Extract and interpret information from realistic medical documents

  3. Scientific Names of Animals

  4. Body System Terms Your body is made up of many systems, each having their own vital parts that work together. (Interdependent) This list represents your bodily systems and the specific parts that comprise them:

  5. Body System Terms Skeletal : Bones and joints Muscular: Muscles and tendons Integumentary: Skin, hair, nails, and glands in skin

  6. Body System Terms Sensory: Eyes, ears, nose, skin receptors, and mouth Cardiovascular: Heart, blood vessels, and blood Lymphatic: Tonsils, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, lymphatic vessels, and lymph fluid

  7. Body System Terms Respiratory: Nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs Gastrointestinal: Mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestines, pancreas, liver, and gallbladder Endocrine: Hormones, Pituitary gland, thyroid, adrenal glands, pancreas, and gonads

  8. Body System Terms Nervous: Brain, spinal cord, ganglia, nerves, and sensory organs Urinary: Kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra Reproductive: Ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina in females; testes, ducts, penis, urethra, and prostate in males

  10. Medical Terms • Medical Terms are composed of word part combinations consisting of: • Prefix • Root • Combining vowel • Suffix

  11. Medical Terms: PREFIXES • Consists of one or more syllables • Placed at the beginning of word • Can NEVER stand alone • Like the train’s engine with its whistle • Leads the train and announces the coming train • Without the box cars there is not a complete train

  12. Medical Terms: PREFIXES

  13. Medical Terms: PREFIXES

  14. Medical Terms: PREFIXES • For example: operative • Pre- means before. Preoperative means before or preceding an operation • Peri- means around. Perioperative means pertaining to the period around an operation; before, during or after • Post- means after. Postoperative means after an operation

  15. Medical Terms: PREFIXES PRACTICE • a-, an- (without or not having) • brady- (slow) • de- (remove, take away, loss of) • dys- (difficult, troubled) • hyper- (high) • _________ biotic • (against life) 2. _________thermia (high temperature) 3. _________horn (remove the horn)

  16. Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS • ROOT- • Main part and core meaning of word • Gives you a general idea of what you’re dealing with

  17. Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS

  18. Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS

  19. Medical Terms: SUFFIXES • End of a word • Indicates procedure, condition, disease, or disorder. • Cannot stand alone • Like a caboose, its always last

  20. MEDICAL TERMS: SUFFIXES

  21. Medical Terms: SUFFIXES

  22. Medical Terms:COMBINING FORMS Many medical words need a letter to connect the prefix to the root or the root to the suffix

  23. Medical Terms:COMBINING FORMS Vowel commonly used: “o” If the suffix starts with a consonant connect the root word and the suffix with the vowel “o” Root Word + CVSuffix New word Cardi + -O- -logy Cardiology “heart”Study ofStudy of the heart

  24. MEDICAL TERMS:COMBINING FORMS If the suffix starts with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) DO NOT USE the vowel “o”. Just attach the suffix to the root word. Root Word + Suffix New word Hepat/o -osisHepatosis liver -disease process Disease in the liver

  25. Medical terms:Combining Forms If the suffix begins with the same vowel as the root word, DO NOT repeat the vowel. Root word + Suffix New word Cardi -itisCarditis heart -inflammation of -inflammation of the heart

  26. Medical Terms: Suffixes PRACTICE

  27. Medical Terms: SUFFIXES

  28. Medical Terms: Practice • Any of these combinations work: • Prefix + Suffix • Prefix + Root • Root + Suffix • Prefix + Root + Suffix • Prefixes never stand alone • Suffixes never stand alone

  30. Directional Terminology Doctors and Veterinarians use specific terminology to identify certain locations on the body

  31. Directional Terminology Caudal – towards the tail Cranial – towards the head (Frontal)

  32. Directional Terminology Deep – further from the surface Superficial – closer to the surface

  33. Directional Terminology Dorsal – along the back or uppermost surface Ventral – along the belly

  34. Directional Terminology Distal – part of the limb furthest from the body Proximal – part of the limb closest to the body

  35. Directional Terminology Anterior – front of the animal Posterior – rear of the animal

  36. Directional Terminology Median – body plane that divides the animal into “equal” right and left halves

  37. Directional Terminology Sagittal – any body plane that is parallel to the median plane (doesn’t divide equally)

  38. Directional Terminology Transverse – body plane that divides the body into cranial and caudal parts

  39. Directional Terminology Lateral – the far side of the animal Medial – the near side of the animal
