Complete the missing information. Medical terms are constructed using the following component parts: P( prefix), R(root), CF( combining form), and S(suffix). A prefix is added to the beginning of a word. A suffix is added to the end of a word. A prefix and a suffix can be either one syllable or a group of syllable. Every medical term has a _______________ word or combining form that is the foundation from which other words are constructed and expresses the main meaning of the word. The _______________ and _______________ are added to it to construct a modified term. When a vowel is added to a word root, it becomes a _______________. This vowel _______________ the root to the _______________ or another _______________. When using the component parts to understand a medical term, you should begin with the meaning of the _______________. Many times, there are more than one component part that has the same meaning. For instance, the root word “uterus” has the same meaning as the combining form “metr/i”. You will find this most often with terms that relate to _______________ and the _______________ that affect them.How are medical terms structured?
