  2. Lecture 2

  3. Intended Learning Outcomes • By the end of this lecture, students will learn: • Basic rules for remembering and forming scientific terms

  4. Lecture content Structure of medical words. Word Roots Suffixes Prefixes Combining Forms Tumour terminology Singular and plural scientific terms

  5. Scientific Terminology • In this course students will have to learn and remember extensive lists of complex terminology. • While each discipline will have terminology that is particular to it, there are some common principles that apply to scientific terminology generally. • The purpose of this course is to is to help students understand the origins of scientific terms and the way these terms are formulated in order to remember them better

  6. Scientific Terminology • Many of the words used in science have their origins in Greek and Latin words. If you know the meanings of the Greek and Latin roots of words, it makes them easier to remember. • Similarly, as scientific words are often made up of several components, knowing these components, and in particular the ones that are commonly used in your discipline, will help you remember them or help you to work out their meaning.

  7. Structure of Medical Terms • There are three basic parts to medical terms: • Prefix (comes at the beginning and usually identifies some subdivision or part of the central meaning) . • Root (usually the middle of the word and gives the main meaning) • Suffix (comes at the end and modifies the central meaning as to what or who is interacting with it or what is happening to it)

  8. Scientific terms often use prefixes and suffixes to provideadditional information to the root of a term or word.

  9. If you learn the key prefixes, root words and suffixes for your branch of science, you will be able to decode many of the technical terms you meet in your practical life.

  10. Prefixes • A prefix is a word segment placed at the beginningof a word. A prefix helps to change or define the meaning of the word. • It is often an adjective or a description and can contribute its particular meaning to a word Examples: • anti • Hyper • poly

  11. Prefixes

  12. Roots • The Root often indicates a placeor an organ . • Most root words are derived from Greek or Latin. • Examples: • cardi — • gastr — • nephr— • pseudo

  13. suffixes • Found at the end of a word. • It cannot be used alone, • when added after a root it completes the word. Its function is to describe or explain the meaning or what is done tothe root. • Examples: • ectomy— • itis — • ology —

  14. suffixes

  15. Compound Medical Terms & words • Are medical terms which is formed of Two or more roots. • Examples: • Cardioangiography = heart and blood vesselsradiography • Cardiomyopathy = heartmuscle disease • Postcardiotomy= afterheartremoval

  16. Tumor Terminology • Adding -- oma(a swelling) to organ and tissue word roots names tumors. Not all tumors are malignant (cancerous). Many are benign (not life-threatening).

  17. Common word structures • In scientific terminology there are often common ways of forming words. While there are inconsistenciesto general rules. • knowing these common ways of structuring wordscan help you both learn and recall them. • For example, the following are typical word endings that indicate singular or plural.

  18. Exercise • What is this? • levatorlabiisuperiorisalaequenasi.

  19. Assignments • Students on next slide are requested to prepare a presentation (minimum of 7 slides) on any the following topics: • Blood terminology (including disease) • Kidney terminology (including disease) • Liver terminology (including disease) • Cancer terminology Assignments should be delivered by next week

  21. Students selected for assignments (Gp B)

  22. Students selected for assignments (Nutrition)

  23. Study questions • Write the suffix in each of the following words that means “study of,” “medical specialty,” or “specialist in a field of study”: • 1.dentist (one who treats the teeth and mouth) • 2. neurology (the study of the nervous system) • 3. pediatrics (treatment of children) • 4. technologist (specialist in a technical field) • 5. psychiatry (study and treatment of mental disorders)
