Medical Terminology Word Search
This medical terminology word search holds the vocabulary of a first course in the language of medicine: word parts like the prefix and suffix, body directions such as anterior and distal, and terms from biopsy and edema to tachycardia and appendectomy.
Most medical words are built from Greek and Latin pieces, so learning the pieces unlocks thousands of terms. The suffix -itis means inflammation, which makes arthritis an inflamed joint and gastritis an inflamed stomach. The suffix -ectomy means cutting out. Tachy- is Greek for fast and brady- for slow, so the same heart root gives a racing pulse and a slow one.
Direction words are measured from a body standing in anatomical position, facing forward with palms out. Proximal means closer to the trunk and distal farther away, so the wrist is distal to the elbow. A blood pressure reading pairs two numbers: the systolic pressure while the heart squeezes, over the diastolic pressure while it rests between beats.
