In this course you will learn a multitude of medical
terms, but by no means all of them! Learning to deconstruct an
unfamiliar term to understand its meaning is a critical skill in
medical terminology, which you will find useful long after the
class is over. In the following assignment you will find five terms
that you have likely not encountered before.
It is your task to locate the term in a medical
dictionary reference - either in book form or using an online
medical dictionary. Once you have found the meaning of the term,
identify the various word components and their meanings. If there
is no word component for a particular term, use “none” or “N/A” to
indicate this. You will find that in some cases, a word component
has more than one meaning. Use a medical dictionary reference to
aid you in selecting which meaning applies in the term you are
deconstructing. Also, there may be more than one prefix or more
than one root within a single term.
