Anatomy, Unit I Exercise 1: Root Words for medical terminology
Many of the scientific and medical terms you will have to learn are made up of Greek or Latin roots, prefixes, of suffixes. Learning to recognize common suffixes can help you become more efficient in comprehending texts and remembering definitions and concepts.
Each card has a Greek or Latin root word on one side. On the other side are the definition of the root and at least one vocabulary item made from that root.
