In this week, we are going to discuss and summarize the remaining prefixes (apart from those specifying position) and suffixes used in medical terminology.
After this week, you should be familiar with Latin and Greek prefixes with equivalent meaning, e.g. de- = cata-, post- = meta- etc., understand medical terms using these, and be able to explain how the prefixes work in the terms.
You should also be familiar with suffixes that have a specific meaning, such as -osus = full of or -atus = equipped with sth, and understand the terms using these.
See the sections 5.1 and 5.2 of BMT II_handouts and make sure you understand all the given examples.
