Unit 10 Surgery, Diabetes, Immunology, Lesions, and Prefixes of Numbers and Direction
Type 1 Diabetes • Individual produces very little or no endogenous insulin to carry glucose into cells • Results in hyperglycemia • Must take ectogenous (exogenous) insulin
Symptoms of Diabetes • Classic symptoms include excessive: • Urination • poly/ur/ia • Thirst • poly/dips/ia • Hunger • poly/phag/ia
Terms with lapar/o • lapar/o = combining form for abdominal wall • Examples: • lapar/ectomy = excision of part of abdominal wall • lapar/o/scopy = process of examining abdominal wall • lapar/o/scope = instrument for examining abdominal wall
Laparoscopic Procedures • lapar/o/scop/ically assisted vaginal hyster/ectomy = removal of uterus through vagina looking through laparoscope • lapar/o/scop/ic chole/cyst/ectomy = removal of gallbladder with assistance of laparoscope
Terms with lapar/o • lapar/o/tomy = incision into abdominal wall • lapar/o/rrhaghy = suturing of abdominal wall
Terms with pry/o • pyr/o = combining form with words to mean heat, fever, or fire • Examples: • pyr/o/phobia = abnormal fear of fire • pyr/o/maniac = one who has excessive preoccupation for starting or seeing fires • pyr/osis = condition of heartburn • pry/o/toxin = poison produced by high body temperature
Fever • hyper/pyrexia = condition of high fever • More than 102° Fahrenheit • pyr/o/lysis = destruction by fever • pry/o/meter = instrument for measuring heat • Thermometer
Sweat • hidr/o = combining form for sweat • Examples: • hidr/osis = condition of sweating • hyper/hidr/osis = profuse sweating • hidr/o/rrhea = flow of sweat • an/hidr/osis = absence of sweat • hidr/aden/itis = inflammation of sweat glands
Sugar • glyc/o and gluc/o = sugar • Examples: • glyc/o/genesis and gluc/o/genesis = formation of sugar • glyc/o/protein and gluc/o/protein = substance made of sugar and protein • glyc/o/suria and gluc/o/suria = sugar in urine • glyc/o/hem/o/globin = sugar and hemoglobin
Sugar • Examples: • glyc/o/gen = starch formed from simple sugars and stored as reserve fuel • glyc/o/gen/esis = formation of glycogen from carbohydrates • Body converts glycogen to glucose • Cells use to release energy • glyc/o/lysis = breakdown to glycogen to glucose
Sugar • Examples: • glyc/o/rrhea = discharge of sugar from body • glyc/emia = sugar in blood • hyper/glyc/emia = high level of sugar in blood • Symptom of diabetes • hypo/glyc/emia = low blood sugar • Can occur if person produces too much insulin
Sugar • gluc/o = combining form for glucose • Examples: • gluc/o/gen/esis = formation of glucose from glycogen stores • gluc/ose = used by muscles to release energy
Diabetes Mellitus • Type 1 • Characteristics: • Exogenous insulin-dependent • Onset in youth • Tendency to ketoacidosis • Viral etiology • Autoimmune basis • Genetic predisposition
Diabetes Mellitus • Type 2 • Characteristics: • Noninsulin-dependent • Onset in adults over age 40 • Some endogenous insulin production • Obesity or normal weight • Can be treated with diet and oral hypoglycemic agents
Diabetes Mellitus • Gestational • Characteristics: • Occurs in individuals not previously diabetic • Develop hyperglycemia during pregnancy • May progress to diabetes mellitus or return to normal glucose levels postpartum
Immunology • immun/ity = one of body’s defenses against disease • immun/o = combining form • Example: • immun/o/logy = study of function of immune system
Immunology • Three types of immunity: • Natural • Part of one’s physiology • Natural passive • Passed from mother to fetus during pregnancy or to infant through breastfeeding • Artificial • Scientifically designed • E.g., vaccinations
Immunology • Artificial immunity • Passive • immun/o/globulin injections = given to boost immune response • Active • Vaccines containing specific antigens stimulate lymphatic system to produce matching antibodies
Immunology • immun/o/therapy • immun/izations = injections that stimulate immune response • Also known as vaccin/a/tions • 11 recommend before age 7 for general population
Immunology • Immune response • Production of antibodies by lymphocytes to disable antigens • Antigen • Foreign substance that invades body
