B. Identify the Word Roots (Trisha Dykstra)

1. Definition: Enlargement of the heart Root: cardi Word: cardio/megaly 2. Definition: Condition in which there is a decrease in the number of white blood cells Root: cyt Root + vowel: leuk/o Word: leukocyto/penia 3. Definition: Inflammation of the skin of the extremities Root: dermat Root + vowel: acr/o Word: acrodermat/its 4. Definition: One who specializes in the study of diseases and disorders of the heart Root: cardi Word: cardio/logist 5. Definition: Any condition of the skin Root: dermat Word: dermat/osis 6. Definition: Painful urination Root: dys Word: dysur/ia 7. Definition: Pain in the heart Root: cardi Word: cardi/algia 8. Definition: One who specializes in the study fo diseases and disorders of the skin Root: dermat Word: dermato/logist 9. Definition: Condition of blueness Root: cyan Word: cyan/osis 10. Definition: Inflammation of the heart Root: cardi Word: cardi/tis

C. What is Wrong with This Word? (Rachel G)

1. Wrong: megaly cardio Correct: cardiomegaly Rationale: A word cannot end with a combining form. The suffix –//megaly// should go to the end of the word.

2.Wrong: penia leuko cyto Correct: leukocytopenia Rationale: The suffix –//penia// should go at the end of the word. The combining vowel //o// should remain with the root //cyt// because the suffix begins with a consonant.

3.Wrong: dermato it is acro Correct: acrodermatitis Rationale: A word cannot end with a combining form; therefore, the vowel //o// should be dropped and the suffix –//itis// should be added at the end of the word. The combining vowel is not neede because the suffix begins with a vowel.

4. Wrong: megaly gastro Correct: gastromegaly Rationale: The suffix –//megaly// should go at the end of the word. The combining vowel //o// should remain with the root because the suffix begins with a consonant.

5. Wrong: osis dermato Correct: dermatosis Rationale: A word cannot end with a combining form; therefore, the vowel //o// should be dropped and the suffix –//osis// should be added at the end of the word. The combining vowel is not needed because the suffix begins with a vowel.

6. Wrong: dys men rrhea Correct: dysmenorrhea Rationale: The suffix begins with a consonant. Therefore, a combining vowel is needed.

7. Wrong: cardo algia Correct: cardialgia Rationale: The vowel //o// should be dropped from the root //cardi// and the suffix –//algia// should be added at the end of the word. The combining vowel is not needed because the suffix begins with a vowel.

8. Wrong: logist dermato Correct: dermatologist Rationale: The suffix –//logist// should go at the end of the word. The combining vowel //o// should remain with the root because the suffix begins with a consonant.

9. Wrong: osis cyano Correct: cyanosis Rationale: The suffix –//osis// should go at the end of the word. The combining vowel //o// should be dropped from the root //cyan// because the suffix begins with a vowel.

10. Wrong: itis cardo Correct: carditis Rationale: A word cannot end with a combining form; therefore, the vowel //o// should be dropped and the suffix –//itis// should be added at the end of the word. The combining vowel is not needed because the suffix begins with a vowel.

1. When building a medical word, remember that a word cannot end as a **COMBINING FORM**. You must drop the vowel and add a **SUFFIX**. 2. The basic foundation of a word is known as the **WORD ROOT**. 3. Word roots, prefixes, suffixes, and combining vowels are known as **BASIC COMPONENT PARTS**. 4. The word element attached directly to the beginning of a word is known as a **PREFIX**. 5. The word element that requires a combining vowel for attachment when it begins with a consonant is known as a **SUFFIX**. 6. Combining Vowel 7. Suffix 8. Combining Form 9. Prefix 10. Compound Word
 * D. Completion** (Joanna: Questions 1-5) (Rachelle 6-10)

1. C. When using more than one word root, as in a compound word, a **combining vowel** is needed to separate the different word roots. 2. A. If a suffix begins with a vowel, the **word root** will attach directly to it. 3. C. If a suffix begins wit a consonant (anythng other than a, e i, o, u, y), the root will need a **combining** **vowel**. 4. A. A word element added at the beginning of the word is a: **prefix**. 5. A. Compound words are usually composed in the following order: **combining form + word rood + suffix.** 6. D. The definition of a medical word usually begins with defining the **suffix** first and continuingt ro "read" backward through the word as you define it. 7. B. When a medical word has a prefix, the definition of the word usually begins with defining the suffix fust, the prefix **second**, and the root(s) lasts. 8. A. When a medical word identifies body systems or parts, the definition of the word usually begins with defining the suffix first and then defining the organs **in the order in which they are studed** in the particular body system. 9. B. In the mdecial word //caridocentesis// (cardi + centesis), the word element -centesis is a suffix. The combining vowel //o// is used in building this word because: **the suffix begins with a consonant.** 10. A. ﻿In the medical word //cardialgia// (cardi + algia), the the word element -//algia// is a suffix. The combining vowel //o// is not used because: **the suffix -//algia// begins with a vowel and a combining vowel is not necessary.**
