Description

Welcome! I created this three-page Latin root word worksheet to help students break down the meaning of medical terminology found in the blood unit chapter in their Human Anatomy and Physiology textbook. This worksheet features a two-column listing of twenty-three Latin/Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes next to their English meaning. Then students will break down the meaning of seventeen blood-related compound words.
 
  • Students first are directed to slash each compound word into its prefix, root, and suffix.
  • Then students are directed to sequentially write the English meaning of each part in between forward slashes on the top numbered line.
  • Finally, students are directed to accurately define the term on the designated lines.
 
Example: Hypoglycemia
                            ↓ ↓
Student answer: Hypo/glyc/emia ___Deficient / Sugar / Blood___
Definition:  Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood sugar.
 
The scientific terms covered in this conversion exercise are polycythemia, leukemia, hemophilia, ecchymosis, anemia, albumin, erythrocyte, erythropoietin, hematopoiesis, hemolysis, leukocyte, monocyte, thrombocytopenia, thrombocyte, megakaryocyte, phagocytosis, and polymorphonuclear leukocyte.
 
This PDF file will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app.
 
A complete answer key is included.
