Скачать или смотреть MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY BREAKDOWN

Medical terminology can feel overwhelming, but when we break it down, it’s really just puzzles made of:

🧩 Prefixes – Come before the root to adjust meaning
Example: peri- = surrounding

🧩 Root words – Provide the main meaning
Example: cardiac = heart (from the Greek word kardia)

🧩 Suffixes – Come after the root to adjust meaning
Example: -ium = structure

When we put it all together:Pericardium = “Surrounding heart structure” – the protective layer around the heart.

📚 The more you build your word bank, the easier it becomes to decode new terms like:
Cardiology = study of the heart
Cardiomyopathy = disease of the heart muscle
