16. Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS • ROOT- • Main part and core meaning of word • Gives you a general idea of what you’re dealing with

18. Medical Terms: ROOT WORDS

19. Medical Terms: SUFFIXES • End of a word • Indicates procedure, condition, disease, or disorder. • Cannot stand alone • Like a caboose, its always last

20. MEDICAL TERMS: SUFFIXES

23. Medical Terms:COMBINING FORMS Vowel commonly used: “o” If the suffix starts with a consonant connect the root word and the suffix with the vowel “o” Root Word + CVSuffix New word Cardi + -O- -logy Cardiology “heart”Study ofStudy of the heart

30. Directional Terminology Doctors and Veterinarians use specific terminology to identify certain locations on the body

31. Directional Terminology Caudal – towards the tail Cranial – towards the head (Frontal)

32. Directional Terminology Deep – further from the surface Superficial – closer to the surface

33. Directional Terminology Dorsal – along the back or uppermost surface Ventral – along the belly

34. Directional Terminology Distal – part of the limb furthest from the body Proximal – part of the limb closest to the body

35. Directional Terminology Anterior – front of the animal Posterior – rear of the animal

36. Directional Terminology Median – body plane that divides the animal into “equal” right and left halves

37. Directional Terminology Sagittal – any body plane that is parallel to the median plane (doesn’t divide equally)

38. Directional Terminology Transverse – body plane that divides the body into cranial and caudal parts

39. Directional Terminology Lateral – the far side of the animal Medial – the near side of the animal
