HOW TO USE THIS CHAPTER
Medical terminology is a vital part of communicat­ing in the health care environment. To do your job
well, you will need to learn a signicant number of
terms you are probably unfamiliar with at the mo­ment. Once you begin your job as a phlebotomist, many of these will become part of your daily prac­tice, and they will quickly become a regular part of your vocabulary. Others you will likely encounter much less often. Therefore you should use this chapter in two ways. First, it provides an introduc­tion to many of the most common terms you will encounter and with which you need to become fa­miliar. Second, it can serve as a reference to you in the future, to remind you of the meaning of some
Copyright 2016, 2011, 2007, 2002 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
less common terms. But remember also that this chapter is not an exhaustive list of medical termi­nology. As you go on, you will likely learn more terms that you will nd here. A good medical dic­tionary is invaluable as a complete reference.
PARTS OF A WORD
Most medical terms have several parts. For in­stance, phlebotomy is a combination of two parts,
phlebo- and -tomy. Phlebo- means “vein,” and
-tomy means “cutting into,” so phlebotomy literally
means “to cut into a vein.” Similarly, phlebitis is a combination of two parts, phlebo- and -itis. Once you know that -itis means “inammation,” you can deduce that phlebitis is inammation of a vein.

CHAPTER 5 Medical Terminology http://evolve.elsevier.com/Warekois/phlebotomy
The parts of a word include the root, or main part; a prex, or part at the beginning; and a sufx, or part at the end (Figure 5-1). The reading of the
word starts with rst dening the sufx, moving to the prex, and then to the root word. For instance, antecubital includes the sufx -al, meaning “per- taining to”; the prex ante-, meaning “forward of”
or “before”; and the root cubit, meaning “elbow.” Therefore the word means “pertaining to the region forward of the elbow.” Tables 5-1 through 5-3 list
commonly used prexes, sufxes, and roots.
Words may also contain a combining vowel, added to make pronunciation easier. For instance,

leuk is a root meaning “white,” and cyte means “cell.” An o is added to make leukocyte, a white blood cell. Similarly, cyt and -logy, meaning “study of,” are joined with a combining vowel to form cytology, the study of cells. The combination of a word root and a combining vowel (usually an o) is

called the combining form of the root. Combin-
ing vowels usually are not used when the sufx
begins with a vowel. For instance, no combining vowel is used to form leukemia, which combines the root leuk and the sufx -emia, meaning “blood condition.”
The spelling of roots can also change slightly
when they are combined with different sufxes.
For instance, erythema, meaning “redness of the
skin,” uses a slightly modied form of the root
erythro.
The plurals of some medical terms are formed by changing the end of the word rather than adding an s. For instance, words ending in -us typically change to -i for the plural, as in nucleus to nuclei and thrombus to thrombi. A list of such plurals is given in Table 5-4.
By memorizing some of the most common roots and remembering these simple guidelines, you should be able to deduce the meanings of many common medical terms. Keeping a medical diction­ary handy allows you to learn terms you do not know. Medical dictionaries often have tables of word roots.

instance, AE may mean “above the elbow” to a phle­botomist reading a chart about a burn victim’s scars, but it may mean “adverse effects” to a pharmacist comparing side effects of two drugs. Table 5-5 lists many of the abbreviations you will encounter. Be­cause of the potential for confusion, The Joint Com­mission has recommended avoiding certain abbre­viations, shown in Table 5-6. Abbreviations of medical tests are found in later chapters as they are covered.

REVIEW FOR CERTIFICATION
Medical terms are most commonly formed from Greek or Latin. Each term contains a root and may
contain a prex, sufx, combining vowel, or other
root. A combining vowel, usually an o, is used with a root to create a combining form for ease of pro­nunciation. A large number of abbreviations are used in the health care environment. Most abbre­viations have unique meanings within a medical
context.
