for transplantation to replace something else so that's what the suffix graph means so now that we're all done going over all those medical terms let's try to put them into practice so the first war we're gonna look at today as a practice problem is myasthenia so if we break it down again we look at the first portion of that word mine my means muscle or so you can think of my or myoclonus these already two muscle so my means muscle and now we learn in this lesson that esteem my Steen means weakness and we've learned in a previous lesson that iya iya means in abnormal condition so we put this all together it means in abnormal condition of muscle weakness so myasthenia means in normal condition of muscle weakness and you might have heard of the condition myasthenia gravis this also relates to muscle weakness the next practice problem is osteo Malaysia so again we just break it down so looking at the first portion of the word osteo osteo means bone and the second portion of the word in Malaysia Malaysia means softening we just learned this so when we put it all together Ostia Malaysia literally means softening of the bones and it's a softening of the bones due to inadequate mineralization the next practice we're gonna look at is diplococcus so again we just break it down so Diplo we learned in this lesson that Diplo means double or two and caucus caucus is a suffix that means round and it really means a round shaped cell so when we put this together diplococcus means double or two round shaped cells and difficult this is actually a type of bacteria the next practice problem is xenograft so what does xenograph mean again when we break it down Z no Z no means different or foreign or alien engraft we just learned that graft means an organ or tissue used for transplantation to replace something so when we put this together xenograft is really an organ or tissue from one from an animal of one species so it's from a different species transplanted to an animal human of another species so when we for instance might take some organ or tissue from Pig and use it in a human that's a xenograft so it's from one different species to human and xenograft is just one type of graph there's also autographs and alle graphs an autograph is when you transplant a tissue from the same person and an allograft is when you transplant a tissue from one person to another person so that's just a little bit of a little bit of a detour in our lesson here but the next word we're gonna talk about is arthrocentesis so again we break it down our throw our throw we've learned means joint and when we looked at the suffix n tesis we learned that scent ESA's means removal of fluid or aspiration so arthrocentesis means a removal or aspiration of fluid from a joint in the last practice problem is gas for a fee and when we break it down gastro Gaston means stomach in the raphe or a fee we just learned means suture so gas for a fee or gas gravy means suturing of the stomach so anyways guys this was another lesson in the medical terminology the basics series I hope you found this video helpful if you did please like and subscribe for more videos like this one and
