Webinar on Medical Terminology: Respiratory and Cardiovascular Systems

Introduction

• Instructor: Gita
• Team: Miss Marcia and Miss Ida
• Objective: Learn medical terminology interactively
• Encourage engagement in chat, use question boxes for queries

Class Structure

• Timing: Wednesdays, 8 - 10 PM
• Topics: Respiratory system, Cardiovascular system
• Activities: Videos, games, Kahoot, Quizlet

Respiratory System

Overview

• Function: Supplies oxygen, removes carbon dioxide
• Major Organs: Mouth/nose, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, diaphragm
• Processes: Inhalation brings oxygen, exhalation removes carbon dioxide
• Facts: Air we breathe is 21% oxygen; Sneeze particles can travel up to 100 mph

Key Terms

• Prefixes:
  • Brady: Slow
  • Tachy: Fast
  • Dys: Painful/Difficult
  • Hyper: Above normal
  • Hypo: Below normal
• Root Words:
  • Rhino: Nose
  • Bronchio: Bronchus
  • Pulmono: Lung
  • Ortho: Straight
  • Costo: Rib
  • Freno: Diaphragm
• Suffixes:
  • Itis: Inflammation
  • Rrhea: Discharge/Flow
  • Scopy: Technique of viewing
  • Ectomy: Removal of

Medical Terminology Examples

• Bronchitis: Inflammation of the lining of the bronchi
• Rhinoplasty: Surgical repair of the nose
• Bronchogram: X-ray of the bronchi

Cardiovascular System

Overview

• Function: Transport gases (O2 & CO2), nutrients, waste, hormones; fight pathogens; stabilize temperature
• Blood Components: Red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma (55% of blood)
• Blood Types: O positive (most common), AB negative (rarest)
• Circulation: Right side - deoxygenated blood; Left side - oxygenated blood

Heart Anatomy

• Chambers: 4 (2 atria, 2 ventricles)
• Valves: Ensure unidirectional blood flow
• Layers: Pericardium (protects the heart), Epicardium, Myocardium, Endocardium

Key Terms

• Root Words:
  • Angio: Vessel
  • Cardio: Heart
  • Phlebo/Veno: Vein
  • Aort: Aorta
  • Arterio: Artery
• Suffixes:
  • Gram: Picture/Recording
  • Graph: Instrument
  • Logist: Specialist
  • Pathy: Disease
  • Plasty: Surgical repair

Medical Terminology Examples

• Angioplasty: Surgical repair of a blood vessel
• Cardiopathy: Disease of the heart
• Endocarditis: Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart

Additional Information

• Videos: Various educational videos on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems
• Interactive Sessions: Kahoot and Quizlet for better understanding
• Feedback: Encouraged for quality improvement and better teaching experience
