Description
Welcome! This activity set includes a full-page study guide for the lymphatic system unit in a human anatomy and physiology course. The study guide covers the functions, morphology, physiology, aging process, diseases/conditions, and classification of the system. The study guide is a mixture of twenty short answer and fill-in-the-blank sections. I provided word banks on the student guide for all of the sections with one-word answers.
This activity set also includes a four-page Latin root word packet to help students learn the etymology of medical terminology found in the lymphatic system chapter in their Human Anatomy & Physiology textbook. This worksheet features a two-column listing of 22 Latin/Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes next to their English meaning. Students will break down the meaning of twelve 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: ___Low blood sugar levels___
The scientific terms covered in this conversion exercise are adenoidectomy, intrathoracic, pathogen, lymphoma, axillary lymph nodes, lymph sinuses, antigen, interferons, lymphocyte, pyrogen, and autoimmune disease.
This set of documents will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using the Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app. I provided a complete key for each activity with the answers in colored font.
