Description
Welcome! I created this three-page Latin root word worksheet to help students break down the meaning of medical terminology found in the skeletal 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 analyze the etymology of nineteen scientific compound words.
- 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.
Scientific terms covered in this conversion exercise are amphiarthrosis, epiphysis, osteoblast, osteoclast, periosteum, synarthrosis, diarthrosis, intercostal muscles, bursitis, ossification, osteomyelitis, myeloma, hydrocephalus, chondrosarcoma, metacarpals, microcephalia, scoliosis, and osteoporosis.
This document will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader DC app. I provided a complete key with the answers in red font.
This resource is compatible with the following activities relating to the skeletal system in my store.
- Types of Diarthrosis Movement at the Joint Table
