Okay class hopefully you're getting
used to medical terminology and how to read medical terms. Now we continue with
chapter three suffixes and same
chapter goals. Define new suffixes and review those presented in the previous
chapter so now we're building a foundation.
So let's start with chapter three now we go into
combining forms. What is abdomen that's the abdomen, acro means
extremities, accu means sharp, severe or sudden, so see sometimes these
combining forms have three different meanings. Adeno or
adino is gland, adipo you know adipose fat.
Amni amnion, angi like angioplasty right vessel arterio
artery like arteriosclerosis, arthroarthritis,
joint right inflammation of the joint and axillo
or axial as armpit. So understanding these
you know you're getting used to it again make sure you make flash cards make sure
you're doing repetition. You have to see this at
least seven times to even remember it bio life like biology, blephar
eyelid so you can actually have eyelid surgery uh depending on what you want
but it could be called a blepharoectomy or depending on
what they're doing. Okay broncho is bronchitis, bronchitis
right so that would be inflammation of the bronchial tubes, carcinoma
or carcinoma is cancer, cardi means heart not cardi B. Chem is drug so chemotherapy is chemical
drug therapy, chondro is chondrocyte or cartilage
chron now remember chondro is cartilage chron like chronological order,
chrono is time colo is colon, and cyst is urinary bladder so
cystitis would be infection or irritation of the urinary
bladder, encephalo as brain so encephalitis is
inflammation of the brain. Erythro red, hemo
blood, hepato like hepatitis right so that would involve the liver.
Hydro hydrate right so those are examples of
water. Inguin like inguinal that's your groin.
isc to hold back okay lapar is abdomen so la par
oscupi laparoscopy depending on where you have your accent
that would be something that you would do
to get into the abdomen laryngo that's larynx and leuko
like leukocytes it's white so white blood cells
lympho are lymph memo that's breast masto is also breast so
memo and masto so mastectomy and then a mammogram
uh morpho is more fall shape or form muco is muco is mucus my
his muscle mile is the spinal cord so see my
is just muscle but mile is spinal cord necro is death so uh necrotizing
fasciitis flesh eating bacteria so necrotizing death right nephro
as kidney nephrologist is a kidney specialist
neuro is nerve so a neurologist is a nerve specialist
neutral has neutrophil nucleo's nucleus ophthalmo as i so ophthalmologist
osteo has bone so osteopath would specialize in bones auto year
patho is disease peritoneal peritoneum phago to eat or swallow
uh phleb vines so a phlebotomist is actually taking blood from the vein
right a phlebotomist plasma or plasma formation
pleuro as pleura nemo is lung so pneumonia
would affect the lungs pulmo is lungs pulmonary
rady is x-rays rect as rectum rain is kidney rhine rhino so rhinovirus
you've heard of rhinovirus or rhinitis as a runny nose
sarco flesh splint is spleen and staphylo is clusters
so staphylococcus aureus so they're found in clusters strep
twisted chains so streptococcus and you've heard of streptococcus
all right so there are twisted chains thoraco
chest thrombo is a clot tonsils tonsils trachea
as tracheo and vino is vein now you want to so those are the
combining forms of uh remember o is and here strip
but then you always want to start with suffixes
right so the way that i taught you in the beginning is
you want to go from backwards to forward so you know that
algae means pain sili means hernia centesis is punctured
to remove fluid caucus is a berry shaped bacterium
and so you had streptococcus that was the
uh was the word and then site means cell so these are suffixes
make sure you know suffixes before you know combining words
that will help you all right so then as we go into denia
that's pain so if you saw the word pleurodynia you know the plural means
what lungs and indignia means pain so pain in
the lung so now you're understanding how to combine these
ectomy is excision removal resection you can put anything
in there i can put laryngictomy what would that mean
removal of the larynx right emia is a blood condition
like anemia that would be decrease in earth or sites right a
meaning decrease you've got genesis remember the old school uh game
genesis in atari genesis now you know i'm old
but yeah that's where sega genesis that's where sonic the hedgehog
anyway condition of producing and for more
forming so let's say we had the word pathogenesis
that would mean condition of producing disease
and a gram is a record that's right so like a mammogram that's a record of
the breast see so now you're understanding that
a graph is an instrument for recording so like electrocardiogram
or electrocardiograph electroencephalography or in
electroencephalograph so graphy is the process of recording but
the graph is the actual instrument okay
itis is the itis brothers we always talk about itis brothers so bursitis
tendinitis arthritis keeps most of the medical
professional and in business or the itis
arthritis is probably the one that you've heard of
the most but it's a i you can add itis to anything and it could be inflammation
i mean you could get bronchitis tonsillitis you name it cystitis
as anything is inflammation so make sure you know itis
logie is the study of you can add that to anything
you know biology physiology you name it terminology
ophthalmology lysis is breakdown so you go hemolysis so lysis
meaning what breaking down hemo meaning blood so
destruction of blood hemolysis is softening so you've heard of
chondromalacia that's softening of what cartilage chondromeaning cartilage
megaly means enlargement so if you had a acromegaly that's enlargement
of the extremities if you have a splenomegaly that would be
enlargement of the spleen tumor mass collection of fluid so that's
a oma so myoma would be a benign tumor of the
muscle or a myosarcoma
as a tumor malignant of muscle okay and opsi is to view
so biopsy that's the most common biopsy to view life
and osis is a condition usually abnormal so if you had necrosis
that's condition of death of cells pathy is any kind of disease so let's say we get cardiomyopathy that
would be disease of heart muscle deficiency is pina
so leukopenia orthopedia leukopenia would be a deficiency of
white blood cells phobia you have a fear there's lots of
phobias hydrophobia acrophobia arachnel phobia fear spiders
aplasia is development formation or growth
so you get a chondroplasia which is no development of cartilage
and then plasti is surgical repair so rhinoplasty
you name it angioplasty would be surgical repair of blood vessels
means drooping falling prolapse so visceral opticis is
drooping sagging of the internal organs that can occur
uh rhea flow discharge you've heard of diarrhea
of course that's a flow discharge hardening
so arthrosclerosis would be hardening on the vessels
scope instrument for visual so laparoscope
endoscope scopy is the process remember they had a y there and it's the
process of examination so laparoscopy is the
process but a laparoscope is the instrument
and stasis is controlling or so metastasis
is beyond control but hemostasis or
right hemostasis would be stopping the flow of blood
homeostasis is what your body is always trying to get into
is trying to have a balance ostomy opening to form a mouth
okay colostomy new opening of the colon you've heard of that
therapy is treatment hydrotherapy chemotherapy so hydrotherapy is
treatment with water chemotherapy is treatment with drugs
tommy would be incision cutting into so incision into the abdomen
development nourishment so if you had atrophy you would have no development
which term means fear of heights so you know it's one of these
fears hydrophobia acrophobia or agoraphobia so you want to know which
one that is that's a good quest question you know it's not this one so you can
hydro you know is water so then if you didn't know you just got
to see c or d you know acrophobia is
fear of extremities so break it down which one it would be all right er is one who okay so examiner one who examines
ear is a condition so pneumonia condition abnormal of the
lungs leukemia is a conditioner of increase in
white blood cells ist is a specialist there's tons of
specialist neurologists orthopedists you name it
ole is little or small like an arteriole is a small artery yule is little small
so like a venule is a small vein is a structure pericardium
is a structure surrounding the heart us is
also a structure of substance and the y is condition process so
nephropathy disease of the kidney now this suffix also means acrylic is
pertaining to all pronunciation to are pertaining to
are pertaining to eel pertaining to and
genic pertaining to so all these these are great they all mean pertaining
to that's all they mean so again you have a suffix that ends
with a c a l a r a r uh uh let's repeat e a l
and g and i c well that is definitely all just meaning the same
thing pertaining to and ick pertaining to is also
oid is resembling okay so adenoids resembling glands oats pertaining to full of adipose
pertaining to fat us mucus pertaining to mucus
that tick pertaining to necrotic pertaining to death so look at all these
uh suffices that all mean just pertaining to or resembling
a-c-a-l-a-r-e-a-a-l genic oh tick all mean the same thing
so this is a good area to concentrate and say well i didn't know that all that
just meant the same thing so again building terms with suffices
and combining forms now let's put together
arthritis inflammation of the joint blepharopsis
drooping eyelid ischemia loss of normal blood flow
osteogenic produced by bone tissue staphylococci berry shaped bacteria that
grow in clusters so a closer look what is a hernia
protrusion of organ or the muscular wall of an organ
through the cavity that normally contains it a cytos
versus a retro seal okay so cytoseal which is the urinary bladder
and a rectocele which is of the rectum so okay so protrusion of an organ or the
muscular wall of an organ through the cavity that normally
contains it okay scythe systole remember cystitis means
urinary bladder and recto meaning rectum and so the seal
right there so what is a rectocele is there a
herniation of the intestine protrusion or portion of the rectum toward the
vaginal wall hiatal hernia or amphocyl so the answer
would be b and streptococcus encephalococcus are
bacteria that grow in chains or clusters we want to look at blood cells erther
sites red blood cells leukocytes white blood cells and thrombocytes or
platelets are clotting cells make sure you know
the difference arthrocytes again red blood cells made
in the bone marrow carry oxygen from lungs to all
body cells hemoglobin is a blood protein leukocytes are white blood cells five
different kinds of leukocytes divide into two different categories they're
either granulocytes or mononuclear sites so when you do a
cbc which is your complete blood count
you're look monitoring how many other sites you have how many leukocytes you
have if you have an influx of leukocytes you
might have some kind of infection then you can break it down and see
neutrophils and esonophils and say well if you have a high rate of
isonophils what does that mean again that's going
into anatomy but at least you're building the foundation
granulocytes three types cytophylls basal veils and neutrophils
then you have mono nuclear nuclear cells two types you have lymphocytes and
monocytes all right so here's the leukocytes which are white blood cells
and they're divided into granulocytes and mononuclears
and then you have mesonophils basophils and neutrophils which are granulocytes
and then you have mononuclears which are lymphocytes and monocyte site meaning
cell thrombocytes also known as platelets
tiny fragments of blood cells that are formed in the bone marrow necessary for
blood clotting and here's a closer look at the bloods
here's the arthrothrocytes which had contained no nucleus
but contain hemoglobin which is a protein then you have the granulocytes
which is the sonophils granules if you actually
have a high rate of esonophils you can either have
a parasitic infection or allergies so people sometimes that get their blood
work done if they have high eosinophil count
they're either they have a tapeworm or a parasite in them or they have
allergies uh interesting right so you have a basophil and then
neutrophil and then the mononuclears are the lymphocytes
monocytes and then you have thrombocytes right here
quick quiz hotshot rememberspeed with kiana reeves
love that movie which type of blood cells are necessary
for clotting and you know from studying that's the thrombocytes closer look acromegaly
which is a endocrine disorder occurs when the pituitary gland produces an
excessive amount of growth hormone after completion of puberty
often results from a benign tumor of the pituitary gland person typically has a
normal height but bones and soft tissue in the hands feet and
face grow abnormally abraham lincoln actually was believed to
have acromegaly i don't know if you ever watch wrestling
but a lot of the wrestlers have acromegaly so here's uh some wwe wrestlers um
the great khali and andre the giant which unfortunately i think he passed
away and most of of them usually pass away at an early
age just due to the demand on the heart so this is the great kali
all right what's a laparoscopy a laparoscopy
depending on where your accent is laparoscopy a formula of minimally
invasive surgery visual examination of the abdominal cavity using a laparoscope
a lighted telescopic instrument surgeon inserts the laparoscope through an
incision in the abdomen near the navel used to examine abdominal viscera for
evidence of disease or for various procedures such as the
gallbladder and that's what a laparoscopy looks like and then we end with adenoids which are
a closer look so they're right above the soft palate
right here are small masses of lymphatic tissue
located in the part of the pharynx near the nose and nasal passages
the little meaning it means they resemble glands
as appropriate since they are neither endocrine nor
exocrine glands so adonatic to me adenectomy again depending on where you
put the accent may be needed if they become enlarged and block the airway
from the nose to the pharynx alright hopefully that
helped
