Description
Welcome! I created this three-page Latin root word worksheet to help students break down the meaning of medical terminology found in the digestive system for human anatomy and physiology. This worksheet features a two-column listing of twenty-nine Latin/Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes next to their English meaning. Students will study the etymology of twenty-one compound words relating to the digestive system.
-
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 levels.___
The terms covered in this conversion exercise are lipase, gastrointestinal, peristalsis, submucosa, pyrosis, gastric juice, nasopharynx, hepatitis, bolus, chyme, emulsification, cirrhosis, villi, sublingual glands, bilirubin, gastric, hepatic duct, esophagus, pharynx, protease, and pylorus.
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.
