          BIO 120
       Spring 2012
Please join me in learning some
   vocabulary related to the
    integumentary system!
COMBINING FORM: DERMAT/O
Dermat/o refers to the skin
  We can combine dermat/o with numerous
   prefixes and suffixes to create word
   meaning.
  An example is the word: dermatitis
      The suffix –itis means inflammation, therefore:

    Dermatitis means inflammation of the skin.
COMBINING FORM: MELAN/O
 Melan/o means black.
   We can combine melan/o with the suffix –cyte, which
    means cell.
      We have created the word melanocyte, which means
       “black cell.”
SUFFIX: -DERMA
 The suffix –derma also refers to the skin. By adding –derma to
  the end of a word, we can create meaning.
    By adding the combining form leuk/o, which means white, we can create the
     word
       leukoderma, meaning white skin.
COMBINING FORM: ONYCH/O
 The combining form onych/o refers to the nails.
    We can combine onych/o with the suffix –phagia, meaning to
     eat/swallow, to create the term Onychophagia, which means nail-
     biting.
    Now that you’re getting the hang of this, let’s try another one:
   Another word we can create with the combining form onych/o is
   onychomalacia, which means “softening of the nail.” We made this
   word by adding the suffix --malacia, which means “abnormal softening.”
NOW WE WILL SEE WHO WAS PAYING
         ATTENTION!!
