Medical terminology is comprised of words derived from Greek and Latin. Terms can be broken into three parts: the root, prefix, and suffix. The root identifies the main meaning, condition, or body part. The prefix distinguishes a component or subdivision and advances the root's meaning. The suffix signifies specific features such as circumstances, progression, or intended treatment. Understanding these components and how they are combined to form terms provides the foundation for learning medical terminology.

Chapter1presentation
Medical terms can be built from four word parts: prefixes, word roots, combining vowels, and suffixes. Prefixes are added to the beginning and modify the root's meaning. Word roots provide the general meaning and often refer to body systems or parts. Combining vowels connect roots to other roots or suffixes. Suffixes are always present and indicate conditions, diseases, or procedures. To understand a medical term, it must be divided into its word parts and each part's meaning defined before combining for the overall term meaning.

1) The human population is currently around 7 billion and projected to reach over 9 billion by 2050.
2) Factors driving larger family sizes in India include child labor and care for parents, as well as a preference for male children.
3) China implemented its one-child policy through incentives like better housing for compliant families and providing contraceptives and abortions to control population growth and prevent mass starvation.
Population growth and urbanization
The document discusses issues related to population growth and urbanization. It addresses how human population growth has increased exponentially in the past 200 years due to factors like expanded habitats, improved agriculture, and decreased mortality. If trends continue, the global population is estimated to reach 9 billion by 2050. Urbanization is also increasing, with more people living in urban than rural areas. Urban sprawl poses challenges like loss of land, increased resource use, and economic impacts on central cities. Strategies to slow population growth and curb urban sprawl's negative effects are proposed.
Bacteria jeopardy
Viruses, bacteria, beneficial microbes, disease transmission, and microbial structures are discussed. Key points include: viruses can contain RNA, DNA or both; viruses can be beneficial or pathogenic depending on the virus and host; and bacteria come in cocci, bacilli, and spiral shapes and can be beneficial, pathogenic, or neither. Binary fission is the mode of asexual reproduction for bacteria.
Viruses
Viruses are not considered living organisms because they lack the properties of life such as the ability to reproduce, grow, metabolize, and maintain homeostasis. Viruses have either DNA or RNA surrounded by a protein coat called a capsid. They infect host cells and use the host's cellular machinery to replicate themselves and spread infection. There are several shapes of virus particles including helical, polyhedral, and bacteriophages which have a tail. Viruses can replicate through lytic and lysogenic cycles, sometimes integrating their genetic material into the host. They are able to mutate and evolve, occasionally resulting in more virulent strains. Examples of important human viruses discussed include influenza, HIV, herpes, measles, polio
Bacteria
Bacteria are the oldest living structures on Earth and can be categorized into three kingdoms - Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, and Eukaryotes. Archaebacteria inhabit extreme environments and have cell walls that do not contain peptidoglycan. Eubacteria are more diverse and have cell walls containing peptidoglycan. Bacteria exist in various shapes, groupings, and sizes from 0.5 to 10 microns. They reproduce through binary fission and exchange genetic information through transformation, conjugation, and transduction. Bacteria play important economic roles in nitrogen fixation, nutrient recycling, food production, and medicine.
Genetic disorders ruder
The document appears to be a quiz about various genetic diseases and concepts. It includes questions about sickle cell disease, hemophilia, Huntington's disease, cystic fibrosis, the nucleotides in DNA, sex chromosome disorders like Klinefelter's and Turner's syndromes, inheritance patterns, cell division, and specific genetic disorders like Cri-du-chat syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, and progeria. Each question is followed by multiple choice answers and the correct response highlighted.
Population growth
This document discusses factors that cause population sizes to change, including births, deaths, immigration and emigration. It also examines different reproductive strategies in species and how population growth can resemble a J-curve or S-curve over time. Environmental pressures and limited resources can cause populations to stabilize or even crash if they overshoot the carrying capacity of the ecosystem.
Biosphere and biomes
This document summarizes the major levels of biological organization (biosphere, ecosystems, communities, populations, organisms) and describes the key characteristics of major biomes, including tundra, taiga, temperate deciduous forest, temperate grasslands, desert, savanna, and tropical rainforest. It provides temperature, precipitation, dominant species, and distinguishing features of each biome.

1. Newton's laws of motion describe how forces cause objects to accelerate or remain at rest. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion while potential energy is stored energy due to position or structure.
2. The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form to another, such as chemical to electrical. Heat can be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.
3. Chemical properties describe changes that produce new substances, while physical changes do not. Endothermic reactions absorb heat and exothermic reactions release heat. Phase changes alter a substance's state between solid, liquid, and gas.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Understanding terminology
- 1. Anatomy & Physiology Understanding Terminology
- 2. Fundamentals & Origin O Learning medical terminology can seem overwhelming at first, but like all other languages, certain standard rules apply. For the most part, medical terminology is comprised of words derived from Greek and Latin languages. Understanding the way medical terms are formed and identifying the base of the words provides you with the foundation.
- 3. Formulating Words O Medical terms can be broken into three distinct parts. 1. The word root – generally the central part of the word (in the middle) and identifies the main meaning, condition or body part. 2. The prefix – found at the beginning of the word, and distinguishes a component or subdivision of the word, to advance its fundamental meaning. 3. The suffix – found at the end of the word and signifies specific features, such as the circumstances of an aliment, its progression and the intended procedure or course of action that will be used.
- 4. Root Word O Seeing as root words are the key terminology, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with them. O Root words tells What we are talking about. Pericardium Cardi/o = heart
- 5. Prefix Suffix O The Prefix tells of a position, a time when it occurs, where it is located, how many, or the color. O The Suffix tells What is happening or describes the root word. Pericardium Peri = around, surrounding, or outer ium = Latin noun ending
- 6. More Examples Epigastric P:Upon/above R:stomach S:pertaining to Endometriosis P:within R:womb S:abnormal/condition Hyperglycemia P:above,more,over,excessive R:sweet S:of the blood
- 7. Combining Forms & Modifying Word Meanings Combining forms are the word root plus a vowel. The most frequently used combining form is “o” and tends to be located after the word’s prefix. Again, this is best explained by seeing it on paper. In the word myocarditis, we see that the Greek prefix “my/mys” (muscle) the combining “o” form was added, giving us “myo.” The “o” merges parts of the word to create its definition. To better illustrate, take a look at the following popular example: acr (extremity), cardio (heart) and gastr (stomach). By means of adding the combining form, “o” we get acro/o, cardi/o and gastr/o.
- 8. Combining Forms & Modifying Word Meanings The prefix and suffix of a root word also get modified to alter the implication of a term without changing its central meaning (the root word remains the same). We can see the way “myocarditis” can be changed by switching the prefix. Replace “myo” with “peri” (which means outer) or “endo” (meaning inner), and you’ll have pericarditis and endocarditis.
- 9. Combining Forms & Modifying Word Meanings You should be able to have gauged their meanings, since you’re familiar with the root word and the prefixes. If we keep only the root of the word – “cardio” and change the suffix into “ologist” (physician/doctor that specializes in the heart), “pathy” (meaning damage) or “megaly” (which means enlargement), we have three completely different words: cardiologist, cardiomyopathy, and cardiomegaly. (medword.com)
- 10. Some Exceptions O Not all words have a prefix (cardiovascular). O Some words have more than one root word (cardiovascular). O Different prefixes can have the same meaning. O Hom/o and Home/o = same O Di and Bi = two
