hey everyone this is medical terminology the basics lesson three so this is actually a continuation of lesson one and two and in this lesson we're going to talk more about some medical terminology with regards to medical conditions and medical processes and at the end of the lesson we're going to go through some practice problems to get a better grasp and solidify some of the information we've learned in these last few lessons so to begin we're gonna get some condition modifiers first so the first one I want to talk to you guys about is an T which means opposed to contracting and relieving so this is a very important one you can think of antibodies or anti-inflammatory something that is relieving or counteracting another process the next one is pro which means before proceeding or precursor but it also has that also has another meeting which could mean inducing or promoting so you can think of 4b before proceeding as progenitor cells and for inducing or promoting you can think of pro-inflammatory something that's actually causing or inducing inflammation so the next category I want to look at is locations centra which means Center so you can think of centrifuge or centripetal these just mean central so the next category is cellular modifier so we didn't get much into this in the last couple lessons but we can think of fibro which simply means fiber so you can think of fibroblast in this case the next one is thrombo which simply means clot so you can think of thrombocytes or thrombosis or thrombocytopenia they all just simply mean something to to do with clot the next one is blasto which simply means stem so you can think of blasto seal or blastocyst simply a prefix meaning germ cell the next one is the suffix of blast which is very similar to blast it just means progenitor cell stem cell or formative cell so we can think of again as I mentioned before fibroblast it's a progenitor cell and the next one is classed no you might not hear about this too much but you can think of osteoclast so a class is just an absorbing or degradation cell so as I mentioned before osteoclast it's a cell that actually absorbs bone so the next set I want to talk to you guys about his condition modifiers so these can include something known as Fei Jia or Fei Jie au or Faygo which simply means to eat to consume or ingest so you can think of dysphagia a problem with eating or consuming the next one is Dipsy a-- so this just simply means to drink now you can think of polydipsia you're drinking too much or above normal amount of drinking of fluids the next one is pepsi a' which simply means digestion so you can think of dyspepsia the problem in digestion the next one is a mises which simply means vomiting so you might have heard of hematemesis vomiting of blood the next one is urea which means urination so you can think of polyuria you're urinating too much or you can think of NOK toria which means you urinate at night so the next one is ster Co which denotes feces so you don't hear this one too often but you can think of struggle villain or the the compound that actually gives feces their color next one is ptosis which just means lowered position of an organ you see there's a pee in this in this term but we actually don't pronounce it it's just ptosis and you can think of ptosis of the eye so like our of the eyelid so it's it's full form is both pharoah ptosis but we just call it ptosis it's just drooping of the so it's really just any lower position of an organ you can use this for other organ terms as well the next one is piyo which means pus so you might have heard of empyema the next one is pyre which relates to fever or heat so you can think of pyrexia or pyrogenic a fever is it's actually pyrexia and pyrogenic is anything that actually can produce a fever so the next set are processed modifiers so na so which denotes disease so you can think of nosocomial we usually talk about nosocomial in the hospital it's a disease that has started with in the hospital nosocomial infection so distant also actually this means or denotes disease the next one is chrono which just denotes time so this is a pretty easy one we know we can think of chronic so that's very easy to remember this one the next one is not R not T which means night or dark and again as I mentioned before you can think of nocturia you're peeing at night or nocturnal that's just simply the notes or represents night or dark the next one is I at row which means medicine or doctors and you can think of an iatrogenic so nosocomial and iatrogenic are very similar in the sense that iatrogenic infections we can think of these are actually have been caused by some medical process or through doctors really so you can get iatrogenic infections we we say that certain illnesses that you pick up in a hospital can be iatrogenic the next one is steno which just means narrowing so stenosis you can think of spinal stenosis there's a narrowing of the spine or even get stenosis of particular arteries so these are all this narrowing of a tunnel or narrowing of a lumen the next one is thermo which just represents or temperatures a very easy thermal energy you can think of or thermogenic etc so the next one is psycrow which denotes cold so you might not hear this one too often but you might hear psychrometer the next one is Nosa which denotes pain or injury so you're not gonna hear this one too often but you can think of or you might hear notices scepter which is just a pain receptor so the next one is her knee or her neo which just simply means hernia so the next set of process modifiers we can think of necro which means death so you can think of necropsy or or necromancer these all just are related to death um a suffix that we can think of or we might hear as proxy ax so you might hear like apraxia something to do with motor activity the taxi is also related to motor activity so you might hear a taxi ax there's no motor moving or this rigidity in some some fashion another suffix for conditions you might hear Lexia so a condition involving reading so you might hear alexia so the person is not able to read due to some psychological condition other suffixes include laelia and loggia which are or stand for conditions involving speech so you might hear echo laelia which means you when the patient hear something they repeat it back or a loggia they are not able to speak so you'll see some of these suffixes used in describing conditions usually involving psychological conditions another suffix that is very important is lg Xia which denotes pain we're all very aware of analgesic or analgesia so and representing Lac and LG Xia or LG's ik representing pain so lack of pain it's an analgesic is something that we use to remove paint or to reduce pain another one is algea or Elgin and this actually again denotes pain so you might hear myalgia muscle pain my or mile standing for muscle and ljus standing for pain so myalgia is muscle pain or Sefolosha head pain so all of this algae suffixes denote pain another suffix that's very important is genic which just means producing so as I mentioned before I've used a couple examples pyrogenic something that produces a fever thermogenic something that produces heat these all these suffixes or this suffix simply means producing another one is Genesis so Genesis actually can be used or stands for origin or development so you might hear embryogenesis or Kamado Genesis so the next category I want to talk to guys about is indicators in markers so these are very important when we look at blood screening panels and one is hydro which simply means water so we all know that one's very very common or very simple so you can think of hydration or dehydrated cholesterol which simply means cholesterol it's very easy one so you might have hypercholesterolemia too high of cholesterol level in the blood another one is lipids which just means lipids or fats so this is again very easy you can think of hyperlipidemia too high or above normal levels of fat in the blood another one is hemoglobin which stands for hemoglobin so you can think of hemoglobin Noria you can think of so hemoglobin or E is just when you actually urinate hemoglobin when you have so much hemoglobin you actually pee it out another one is glycol which stands for glucose or sometimes just a general sugar but you can think of hyperglycemia these are very common things you might hear of hyperglycemia hypoglycemia high or low blood sugars so the next one is fructose which just simply stands for fructose so you can think of fructose Oriya a condition where a patient is paying out fructose another one is galactose which simply stands for galactose so we might hear of Galacta rhea another one is ste Otto which simply stands for fat or fatty tissue so you can think of steatosis or steatorrhea another one is ney tree or Nader which means sodium so this is a very important one that we would commonly look at when we look at electrolyte levels so you can think of hypernatremia there's a too high of a concentration of sodium in the blood or hyponatremia these are very very critical conditions that we must understand and this is a very important one to remember likewise cow which stands for potassium is extremely important as well so you can think of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia hyperkalemia you might have a too high of a concentration of potassium in the blood or hypokalemia you might have a too low of a concentration of potassium in the blood these again are incredibly important and they can have devastating health impacts another one is kalsa which simply stands for calcium so you might think of hypercalcemia again all these are very important when looking at electrolytes in the blood another one is klore which means chlorine and another one is coal which means bile so you might have heard of glands ìitís or cholecystectomy so coal just simply means bile so some other modifiers with regard to more anatomy physiology histo which means tissue so histology you can think of histology in this another one is hydro which means sweating so this you might get confused with hydro meaning water this hydros actually spelled with an i instead of y so you can think of hydrosis in this case that's excess sweating or hyperhidrosis another one that's very important is Hema chemo or hamato which means blood so again we've talked about hematology or hematemesis so another one is HAP doe which is related to touch so anything Awards on taptic Hallett means breath so when someone has bad breath that actually is a condition we call halitosis another one is proprio which means pressure touch so you can think of proprioception you'll talk about different types of proprioceptors any receptor or any process of sensation that has something to do with pressure touch so other terms that we didn't get involved in too much I mean the other lessons are Jer Gero order Anto which means which means old age so you can think of gerontology LIF actually means stone so there's a lot of medical conditions that use with such as kidney stones side means killer or killing you can think of homicide or bacteria sidle Inceptor we've talked about this before but this just represents receptor or sensor so some examples I I've talked about this before Paul if AG and Paulie we can look at we did break it down poly means many or a lot and feed gia just means to eat or consume so really all this term means is excessive eating or a lot of eating another term our another example is dyspepsia so this you can think of this means problem or abnormal Pepsi a' means digestion so this term this simply means in digestion or disordered digestion there's some problem with digestion another one is call emesis or Kinesis so we can break this down again guys Cole what does that mean well again that means bile emesis means vomiting so what does this mean what means vomiting of bile some other examples include hypercalcemia so again we just break it down hyper means above normal or high Kalsi means something do with calcium and urea means urination so what does this mean when you put it all together it means above the normal level of calcium in the urine another one is nefra Lithia so this might be a little more tricky so we'll just break it down again so this first part what does this mean what's his next next row mean well neferu actually means kidney now lift I mentioned just just but not too long ago lift me in stone in Isis actually is a condition some abnormal condition so what does this actually mean well this actually means kidney stones so an it throw an F Rohith Isis actually just means kidney stones and the last one known is our throughout yeah so again what does this mean well let's just break it down again so our through means joint in LJ means pain so this simply just means joint pain so you might think okay what about arthritis well arthritis actually just means inflammation of joint it's not actually the same but they're usually if you have arthritis you have arthralgia but that's just a different way of saying something that's very similar but they're actually not the same anyways guys that was medical terminology the basics lesson 3 I hope you found this video helpful if you did please like and subscribe
