Product Description
Welcome! I created this full-page Latin root word to English conversion worksheet to help students study the etymology of medical terminology found in the chapter about the heart for human anatomy and physiology. This worksheet features a two-column listing of twenty Latin/Greek root words next to their English meaning. Then students will analyze fifteen related scientific compound words.
-
Students first are directed to slash each compound word into its origins.
-
Then students are directed to write the meaning of each root in between the slashes on the line next to the slashed compound term.
-
Finally, students are directed to write the fluent meaning or definition of the word on the subsequent line. Refer to the example below.
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 endocardium, pericardium, myocardium, epicardium, pulmonary, necrosis, coronary (arteries), systole, diastole, angina, congenital (heart defects), myocardial infarction, interatrial, endocarditis, and atherosclerosis.
This document will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC Program. I included a complete key with the answers in red font.
This resource complements the following activities relating to the heart and the circulatory system in my store.
- Circulatory System and Heart Unit Exam or Summative Study Guide
