Certainly! Let's solve each of the medical terminology equations step by step, by combining the roots, suffixes, and prefixes provided.
1. abdomin/o + -centesis
- "abdomin/o" refers to the abdomen.
- "-centesis" means surgical puncture to remove fluid.
- Combining these, we get abdominocentesis, a procedure to remove fluid from the abdomen, more commonly known as peritoneocentesis.
2. angi/o + -ectomy
- "angi/o" refers to a vessel (usually blood or lymph).
- "-ectomy" means surgical removal.
- Combining these, we get angiectomy, which is the surgical removal of a blood vessel.
3. aort/o + -itis
- "aort/o" refers to the aorta.
- "-itis" means inflammation.
- Combining these, we get aortitis, which is inflammation of the aorta.
4. arthr/o + -tomy
- "arthr/o" refers to a joint.
- "-tomy" means surgical incision.
- Combining these, we get arthrotomy, which is a surgical incision into a joint.
5. blephar/o + -edema
- "blephar/o" refers to the eyelid.
- "-edema" means swelling.
- Combining these, we get blepharedema, which is swelling of the eyelid.
6. brady- + -pnea
- "brady-" means slow.
- "-pnea" refers to breathing.
- Combining these, we get bradypnea, which is abnormally slow breathing.
7. cerebr/o + spin/o + -al
- "cerebr/o" refers to the brain.
- "spin/o" refers to the spine or spinal cord.
- "-al" means pertaining to.
- Combining these, we get cerebrospinal, which pertains to the brain and spinal cord.
8. dermat/o + -osis
- "dermat/o" refers to the skin.
- "-osis" means a condition, usually abnormal.
- Combining these, we get dermatosis, which is a term used to describe any skin condition.
9. endo- + crin/o + -logy
- "endo-" means within.
- "crin/o" refers to secretion.
- "-logy" means the study of.
- Combining these, we get endocrinology, which is the study of the endocrine system and its disorders.
10. hyper- + glyc/o + -emia
- "hyper-" means excessive or high.
- "glyc/o" refers to sugar or glucose.
- "-emia" means a condition of the blood.
- Combining these, we get hyperglycemia, which is a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels.
So, the detailed breakdown of each medical term yields the following results:
- abdomin/o + -centesis = peritoneocentesis
- angi/o + -ectomy = angiectomy
- aort/o + -itis = aortitis
- arthr/o + -tomy = arthrotomy
- blephar/o + -edema = blepharedema
- brady- + -pnea = bradypnea
- cerebr/o + spin/o + -al = cerebrospinal
- dermat/o + -osis = dermatosis
- endo- + crin/o + -logy = endocrinology
- hyper- + glyc/o + -emia = hyperglycemia
The finalized answers are:
1. peritoneocentesis
2. angiectomy
3. aortitis
4. arthrotomy
5. blepharedema
6. bradypnea
7. cerebrospinal
8. dermatosis
9. endocrinology
10. hyperglycemia
