1 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course is designed for individuals working in medical support services (e.g., billing, insurance, transcription, records, medical assisting, etc.) to review, refine, and expand their medical vocabulary. This course focuses on basic word parts and rudimentary medical terminology. Rev 2.0 January
2 COURSE TITLE: Medical Terminology 1: Basics Author: James D. Rigdon, CPC, NCICS, BS-HA Coding Analyst-TCH University Physicians, Inc. Aurora, Colorado Number of Clock Hours Credit: 1.0 Course # P.A.C.E. Approved: Yes X No OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this continuing education course, the professional should be able to: 1. Identify the origins of basic word parts in medical terminology. 2. Describe basic word parts used in medical terminology. 3. Mix and match basic word parts used in medical terminology. 4. Communicate using basic medical terminology. Disclaimer The writers for NCCT continuing education courses attempt to provide factual information based on literature review and current professional practice. However, NCCT does not guarantee that the information contained in the continuing education courses is free from all errors and omissions. 2
3 What is Medical Terminology? Medical terminology is an advanced language used in the medical field to communicate information quickly and effectively by using a multitude of word parts. These word parts are used to define specific information about anatomy, physiology, diagnoses, conditions, status, and treatments. Many of the word parts used in medical terminology have roots in the Greek and Latin languages. Exploring Word Parts Many of the words used in the medical field are composed of several components. These components are prefix, root, suffix, combining vowel, and combining form. Prefix: The prefix is a small part added to the beginning of the term. Root: The root gives the essential meaning of the term. Suffix: The suffix is the word ending. Combining vowel: Combining vowels connect roots to suffixes and roots to other roots. Combining form: The combining form is the combination of the root and combining vowel. Not all medical terms use all of these components, but all medical terms use many of these components. For example, if you took the term HEMATOLOGY and divided it into the individual word parts, it would look like this: HEMAT O LOGY root combining vowel suffix blood study of The proper way to read the term is to start with the suffix, then move to the front of the word. The word HEMATOLOGY means the study of blood. Another example is the word ELECTROCARDIOGRAM: ELECTR O CARDI O GRAM root combining root combining suffix vowel vowel electricity heart record Starting with the suffix and then moving to the front of the word, the definition for ELECTROCARDIOGRAM is a record of the electricity of the heart. The combining form of a root usually includes a vowel at the end, usually O. For example, the combining form for ELECTR is ELECTRO; CARDI is CARDIO. When a word part alone is heard without a combining vowel, it sounds strange. This is why a combining vowel is added when using word parts alone. For example, a physician discussing is a patient s case with the referral clerk in the office, says I d like to send Mr. Jones to for a Gastro evaluation. If the doctor had said I d like to send Mr. Jones for a Gastr evaluation, it would sound strange. 3
4 However, when combining word parts, the combining vowel is removed before adding it to another word part that starts with a vowel. For example, in the word GASTRO + IC (Gastro = stomach, ic = pertaining to) the O is removed in order to end up with the correct term (GASTRIC = pertaining to the stomach). Plurals Following are rules about turning single medical terms into plural medical terms. 1. Words ending in a, retain the a and add e: Singular Plural Meaning vertebra vertebrae backbones bursa bursae sacs of fluid near a joint 2. Words ending in is, drop the is and add es: Singular Plural Meaning diagnosis diagnoses nature & cause of disease psychosis psychoses abnormal conditions of the mind 3. Words ending in ex or ix, drop the ex/ix and add ices: Singular Plural Meaning apex apices pointed ends of organs cortex cortices outer parts of organs varix varices enlarged, swollen veins 4. Words ending in on, drop the on and add a: Singular Plural Meaning ganglion ganglia groups of nerve cells, benign cysts near a joint 5. Words ending in um, drop the um and add a: Singular Plural Meaning bacterium bacteria types of single-celled organisms ovum ova egg cells 6. Words ending in us, drop the us and add i: Singular Plural Meaning bronchus bronchi tubes leading from the windpipe into the lungs calculus calculi stones (exceptions: virus = viruses, sinus = sinuses) 4
5 Using Word Parts Following is a list of word parts and their definitions. As becomes evident, some word parts have multiple definitions, and some word parts have the same definitions as others. Exercise 1: using the charts on the following three pages, take 10 minutes, and see how many legitimate medical terms you can make by mixing and matching these word parts. Check your words in a medical dictionary. Table 1 Prefixes Definition a- / an- no, not, without aut- self dia- complete, thorough dys- bad, painful, difficult, abnormal endo- within exo- outside hyper- excessive, more than normal hypo- below, less than normal poly- many, excessive post- after pre- before pro- before re- back retro- behind sub- below, beneath trans- across Table 2 Combining Forms / Roots abdomino adeno arthro bio carcino cardio cephalo cerebro crino cysto cyto dermato / dermo electro encephalo entero erythro Definition abdominal gland joint life cancerous heart head cerebrum (enlarged upper part of the brain) secrete urinary bladder cell skin electricity brain intestines red 5
