Medical Terminology Handout (units 5:1and 5.2)
Student Outcomes: DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE AND USE
INTERPERSONAL SKILLS EFFECTIVELY (07.0)
Rationale: Students must understand medical terminology to communicate effectively. Students can’t
perform adequately if they cannot interpret information from the patient’s record.

WORD PARTS ARE THE KEY!
Word roots contain the basic meaning of the term. They usually, but not always, indicate the
involved body part.
Suffixes usually, but not always, indicate the procedure, condition, disorder, or disease. If the word
has a suffix it always comes at the end of the word.
Prefixes usually, but not always, indicate the location, time, number, or status. A prefix always
comes at the beginning of a word.

ch sounds like k ( ex: chiropractor, chyme)
ps sounds like s ( ex: psoriasis, pseudo)
pn sounds like n ( ex: pneumonia, pneumatic)
c sounds like a soft s when it comes before e, i, and y
g sounds like a soft j when it comes before e, i, and y
i sounds like eye when added to the end of a word to form a plural (ex: glomeruli, villi, bacilli)
Rules for using Combining Vowels


Are used to make a medical term easier to pronounce
a. (ex: speedmeter vs. speedometer)
Commonly used vowels are i, o, and sometimes y and u ( however “o” is the most commonly used vowel)
Is used when the suffix begins with a consonant ( neur(o) + -plasty = neuroplasty)
Always used when two or more root words are joined ( gastr(o) + enter(o) + -itis= gastroenteritis)
Do not used a combining vowel when the suffix begins with a vowel ( neur(o) + -itis= neuritis)
Do not place a combining vowel between a prefix and the word root
Recommended method to study medical terminology for upcoming tests:
1. Use a set of index cards to make flashcards of the abbreviations and word parts found on the prefix, suffix, and
word root list given by your instructor. Place one abbreviation, prefix, suffix, or word root on each card. Put the
abbreviation or word part on the front of the card and the meaning of the abbreviation or word part on the back
of the card. Study both sides of the flashcards.
2. Use the flashcards to learn the meanings of the abbreviations and word parts starting with quiz#1, and so on
until all are learned. Practice correct spelling of all of the words.
3. Prepare for quizzes as scheduled. The quizzes will be cumulative. They will cover the words for the weekly
quiz plus any words/abbreviations learned in previous weeks.
