Those who work in the medical profession use a specialized language called Medical Terminology to describe the objects and situations encountered in their fields, such as anastamosis and myocardial. The words or terms that make up the language of medicine are referred to as the terminology of the medical field, or Medical Terminology. Although languages usually change over time, the basis for medical terminology remains constant as the majority of medical terms are based in Latin or Greek.1.
A medical word consists of some or all of the following elements: word root, combining form, suffix, and prefix. How you combine these elements, and whether all or some of them are present in a medical term, determines the meaning of a word.
