This chapter discusses medical prefixes and their meanings. It provides a table listing 50 common prefixes used in medical terminology and their definitions. Examples include "a-" meaning "without", "intra-" meaning "within", and "hyper-" meaning "excessive". The chapter goals are to define basic medical prefixes, analyze how prefixes are combined with other word elements to form medical terms, and use the Rh condition as an example of an antigen-antibody reaction.

This chapter introduces the basic structure of medical terminology by dividing words into their component parts such as roots, prefixes, and suffixes. The goals are to analyze words, relate medical terms to body structure and function, and properly use and spell terms. Words are broken down by identifying their roots to determine meaning, suffixes to indicate a process of study, and combining vowels that link parts and aid pronunciation. Examples show how hematology means the study of blood and electrocardiogram is the recording of the heart's electricity. General rules are provided for reading terms and combining parts.
Language of medicine safa
Medical language is the language of the healthcare profession used to communicate precisely. It is based on Greek and Latin roots combined with prefixes and suffixes to define medical meanings. Some key characteristics of medical language include abbreviations and acronyms, passive voice, dry objective terms without imagery to avoid confusion and allow for accurate communication. The structure of medical terms uses combining forms for the root meaning modified by suffixes with prefixes indicating location, time or number.

the importance of english language
English has become the most widely spoken language globally and is important in many fields and sectors. It is used in education, medicine, engineering, business, and as a lingua franca for communication between different cultures and countries. English proficiency is necessary for academic and career success, as most information online and in publications is in English. It is crucial for studying sciences and computer languages, pursuing higher education abroad, and doing business internationally. English communication skills are especially important for engineering students, as lectures, projects, and resources are predominantly in English.
The Cardiovascular System
The document summarizes the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. It describes the location and structure of the heart, including its layers, chambers, and valves. It then discusses the cardiac conduction system, including the sinoatrial node which acts as the pacemaker, and how electrical signals cause coordinated heart contractions and relaxation.

Cardiovascular System
The cardiovascular system consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps blood through a closed circulatory system of arteries, veins, and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart while veins carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart. Blood functions include transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide, fighting infection, clotting, maintaining blood pressure, and regulating temperature. The path of blood flow is from the vena cava to the right side of the heart, then to the lungs to receive oxygen, and from the lungs to the left side of the heart and out to the body via the aorta before returning to the heart. Common cardiovascular problems include atherosclerosis, hypertension,
med. terminology 1.pptx
This document provides an introduction to medical terminology. It discusses how medical terminology uses precise terms from Greek and Latin roots to describe concepts in health and medicine. It also outlines some key concepts for understanding medical terminology, including roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Roots convey the essential meaning and often indicate a body part. Prefixes and suffixes are added to roots to modify or further specify a term's meaning by indicating elements like location, size, or a procedure. Understanding the components of terms helps in analyzing and defining their meanings.
Medical Terminology
1. The document discusses how medical terms are formed by combining word roots, prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms.
2. It provides examples of common word roots, prefixes, suffixes, and their meanings to demonstrate how they are used to build medical terms.
3. When combined according to specific rules and conventions, these word parts allow complex terms to be formed that accurately describe medical conditions, procedures, anatomy, and other concepts.
Week 1 Summary
The document provides an overview of medical terminology for students in a health science program. It explains that learning medical terminology will help students better understand course material and perform better on exams. Key aspects covered include how medical terms are derived from word parts like prefixes, suffixes, and roots. The best way to learn terminology is to understand how these word parts form terms so one can understand any medical term. Various learning methods are suggested, such as dissecting terms into word parts and using references. Understanding terminology helps standardize communication and improves patient care and safety.

PREFIXES.pptx
This document discusses medical prefixes and how they are used to modify word meanings in medical terminology. It defines what a prefix is and provides examples of how changing a prefix alters a word's meaning. Several common prefix types are described including those indicating position, number, measurement, direction, and other meanings. Specific prefixes are defined and their meanings analyzed in various medical words. The objectives are to explain how prefixes are used and how they change word meanings in medical terminology.
Prefixes
A prefix is a letter or group of letters added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning. There are different types of prefixes in English including common prefixes like "over" and "re", medical prefixes like "hemo" and "hyper", number prefixes like "mono" and "penta", numerical prefixes like "uni" and "quint", Latin prefixes like "extra" and "de", and Greek prefixes like "ana" and "cata". Prefixes can modify a word's meaning by indicating opposition, repetition, quantity, position, or other part of speech.
