2. Introduction to Veterinary Medical Terminology Building Blocks of Words

3. It’s all Greek to me! Some may say that veterinarians speak Greek, they are right! Most terms used in veterinary medicine are based on Latin or Greek. Latin is the universal language of medicine and the Greeks were the founders of modern medicine.

4. The Linking Parts Combining Form Root Suffix PREFIX The key to learning terminology is to break down each word into parts and learn the most common roots, prefixes, suffixes, and combing forms.

5. Word Structure • Root Word • Combining Form • Prefix • Suffix

6. Root Word • This word part usually indicates the involved body part. • Acts as the foundation of most medical terms. • There can be more than one in a word (“compound word”). • Root words are like box cars, carrying cargo on a train. • Without the box cars, together with the engine there is not a complete train.

7. Compound Words Rootword 1 + CV + Rootword 2 + Suffix New word Heart + worm Heartworm Medi + “o” + later + -al Mediolateral Crani + “o” + caud/al + -al Craniocaudal Dors + “o” + palm +-ar Dorsopalmar

8. Word Structure • Root Word • Combining Form • Prefix • Suffix

9. Word Structure: Combining Form • Vowel commonly used: “o” • General Rule 1: If the suffix starts with a consonant, connect the rootword and the suffix with the vowel “o”. Example 1: Root Word + CV Suffix New word Cardi + -o- -logy Cardiology “Heart” study of Study of the heart

10. Word Structure: Combining Vowel • General Rule 2: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. Example 2: Root Word + SuffixNew word Hepat/o -osis Hepatosis liver -disease process - disease process in the liver

11. Word Structure: Combining Vowel • General Rule 3: If the suffix begins with the same vowel as the root word, DO NOT repeat the vowel. Example 3: Root Word + SuffixNew word Cardi -itisCarditis heart -inflammation of - inflammation of the heart

12. Word Structure • Root Word • Combining Vowel • Prefix • Suffix

13. Prefix • Alone they have some meaning, but they are not complete words without the rest of the word parts. • Usually indicates location, time, number, or status. • This always comes at the beginning of word. • They are like the train’s engine, it leads the train and announces the coming train.

14. Prefix • Example: Prefix + Root WordNew word brady + cardi/a bradycardia “slow”“heart” slow heart (rate)

15. Exercise on Prefixes • a-, an- (without or not having) • anti - (against) • brady- (slow) • contra- (against, opposed) • de- (remove, take away, loss of) • dys- (difficult, troubled) • pyo - (pus) • hyper- (high) • ________ biotic (against life) • ________ thermia (high temperature) • ________ horn (remove the horn)

16. Word Structure • Root Word • Combining Form • Prefix • Suffix

17. Suffix • Written AFTER a root word to form a new word. • Follows root word altering the words meaning. • Determines if word is a noun, adjective or other type of word. • Like a caboose, on a train, it is always comes at the end of a word.

18. Word Structure: Suffix • Example: Root Word + SuffixNew word Tonsil + -itis Tonsilitis -itis = inflammation of Inflammation of the tonsils

30. You will receive several cards. Some will be meanings some will be prefixes, roots and/or suffixes.1- Find the match for each word.2- For each match, determine if it is a prefix, root word or suffix.3-Place the cards on the appropriate marker in the room.

31. What word is the most challenging for you to remember? On a sheet of colored paper, create a picture, story or interesting way to remember the meaning of this challenging word.

32. Review: Word Structure • Where can you find a prefix in a word? • What is a Root Word? • Create a compound word. • Where can you find a suffix in a word? • What is the most commonly used vowel? a. If first letter of suffix = consonant? b. If first letter of suffix is = vowel? c. If first letter of suffix = last letter of RW?
