Description
Welcome! This lesson features a three-page Latin root word packet to help students break down the meaning of medical terminology found in the cytology (cell) chapter in their Human Anatomy and Physiology textbook. The activity features a two-column listing of twenty-eight Latin/Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes next to their English meaning. Students will analyze the etymology of sixteen compound words using the format below.
-
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 compound words covered include are cytology, phagocytosis, pinocytosis, endocytosis, exocytosis, glucose, nucleoplasm, hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic, necrosis, mitosis, metastasis, neoplasm, dysplasia, and metaplasia.
This document will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app. It includes a complete key with the answers in red font.
