One small hint about this...

Use the alphabet list with the blue letters, NOT the one at the top of the page!


Next up... For questions 5-8, work with your group on breaking the word up into its parts and determining its meaning. Type the parts AND full meaning in the spaces provided.

Two examples of this are:

Example 1:
Given: oncology
You type: onc= cancer, -logy = study of, oncology = study of cancer

Example 2:
Given: hemolysis
you type: hem = blood, -lysis = breakdown, separation, destruction, loosening

This will take some trial and error. It's ok if they're not perfect! Again, ignore the temptation to google!
Question 5
5.

hypertrophy

Question 6
6.

hypoglycemia

Question 7
7.

electroencephalogram

Question 8
8.

erythrocyte

Question 9
9.

Lastly, pick a letter and use at least two word parts to:

  • make up your own medical term
  • define your term
Have fun with this!

Talk with your group and do your best to match the following terminologies with their meaning. Think about when (if ever) you've heard the words. It's ok if you don't know them all. PLEASE don't google anything, just talk with one another!
