Description
Nearly every student in biology, human anatomy and physiology, and in medical terminology confuses Latin root words that form the basis of scientific compound words. A one letter difference in the way a root word is spelled or interpreted can completely change the root word and its English meaning. This listing features sixty Latin root words organized on a single page. Most are grouped by similar spelling. Others are grouped based on students' high annual frequency of confusion. In this document, the English meaning is listed next to each Latin root.
This PDF file will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Program.
I also offer Latin root word analysis worksheets for the digestive system, the respiratory system, the immune system, the skeletal system, the endocrine system, the integumentary system, a cell unit, a microbiology unit, the heart, an introductory human anatomy and physiology unit, and for a tissues and membranes unit.
Thank you for your interest. Check out my store, Parker's Product for the Sciences, for other engaging science activities.
