362
Q

Three rules for building medical words:

A

Know your rules 1, 2, 3

363
Q

•Rule 1:

W R links a suffix that begins with a vowel.

Q

•Rule 2:

A

C F (root + o) links a suffix that begins with a consonant.

365
Q

•Rule 3:

A

C F (root + o) links a root to another root to form a compound word. •Rule 3 holds true even if the next root begins with a vowel, as in gastr/o/intestin/al.

366
Q

•Diacritical marks and capitalization are used to

A

aid pronunciation of terms throughout the text and to help you understand pronunciation marks used in most dictionaries.
