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.
The three main word parts that make up a medical term are the prefix, word root, and suffix. Each word part serves a different purpose in the medical term. The purpose of the suffix is to bring some type of action to the medical term.
