Spir/o

Breathing
Voice
-phonia
Dysphonia
Breathing
-pnea
Orthopnea
Level of oxgyen
-oxia
Hypoxia (decreased amount of oxygen in the tissues)
Level of oxygen “IN THE BLOOD”
-emia as in hypoxemia
Disease characterized by dyspnea and wheezing due to the bronchial tubes’ spasm or mucous membrane swelling
Asthma
Chronic dilatation of a bronchus or bronchi
Bronchiectasis
COPD
any of a group of chronic, progressive and debilitating respiratory diseases; including emphysema, asthma, brochitis, and bronchiectasis
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Bluish discolouration of skin caused by lack of oxygen in blood (adj. cyanotic)
Cyanosis
CF
Inherited disease that affects the pancreas, respiratory system and sweat glands. Characterized by mucus accumulation in bronchi causing obstruction and leading to infection
Cystic Fibrosis
Chronic pulmonary disease; enlargement and destruction of alveoli (smokers usually get this)
Emphysema
Inflammation of lungs generally caused by infection; may involve bronchioles and alveoli (bronchopneumonia) or one or more lobes of the lung (lobar pneumonia)
Pneumonia
Infectious disease caused by tubercle bacillus; often involves the lungs but may involve other body parts as well
Tuberculosis
Cyst/o, Vesic/o
Cystotomy
Bladder, Pouch
Nephr/o, Ren/o
Nephrosis
Kidney
Ur/o, Urin/o
Urosepsis
Urine, urinary tract
Ureter/o
Ureterostenosis
Ureter
Urethr/o
Urethroscopy
Urethra
Lack of urination*
Anuresis*
Lack of urine formation*
Anuria*
Inflammation of the urinary bladder, usually as a result of infection
Cystitis

Parathry/o, Parathyroid/o
Parathroidectomy
Parathyroid Gland
Arden/o, Adrenal/o
Adrenergic
Adrenal Gland
Epinephrine
Disorder of glucose metabolism caused by deficiency of insulin production or failure of the tissues to respond to insulin; mellitus-honey re: sugar content of urine
Type 1-autoimmune destruction of islet cells=failure of pancreas to produce insulin; children/teens
Type 2-cellular resistance to insulin=insulin overproduction then failure to produce enough; 90% of DM cases; heredity a much greater role
Diabetes Mellitus
Enlargement of the thyroid gland; may be toxic or non-toxic; simple (nontoxic) due to iodine deficiency
Goiter
Most common form of hyperthyroidism with weight loss, irritability, hand tremor, tachycardia and bulging eyeballs
Graves Disease
State of hyperglycemia caused by cellular resistance to insulin-Type 2 diabetes; syndrome X; insulin resistance syndrome
Metabolic Syndrome
