Pneumon/o
Lung
Pneum/o, pneumat/o
Air, gas; lung respiration
Spir/o
Breathing
-phonia
voice
-pnea
breathing
-oxia
level of oxygen in the blood
(-oxemia for in blood)
Asthma
Disease characterized by dyspnea & wheezing due to bronchial tubes’ spasm or mucous membrane swelling
Bronchiectasis
chronic dilatation of a bronchus or bronchi
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
any of a group of chronic, progressive &
debilitating respiratory diseases; includes emphysema, asthma, bronchitis & bronchiectasis
Cyanosis
bluish discoloration of skin caused by lack of oxygen in blood
Cystic fibrosis
Inherited disease that affects the pancreas,
respiratory system & sweat glands. Characterized by mucus accumulation in bronchi causing obstruction and leading to infection
Emphysema
chronic pulmonary disease; enlargement and destruction of alveoli
Pneumonia
inflammation of lungs generally caused by infection; may involve bronchioles & alveoli(bronchopneumonia) or one or more lobes of the lung(lobar pneumonia)
Tuberculosis
infectious disease caused by tubercle bacillus; often
involves the lungs but may involve other body parts as well
Cyst/o, vesic/o
Bladder, pouch
Nephr/o, ren/o
Kidney
Ur/o, urin/o
urine, urinary tract
Ureter/o
Ureter
Urethr/o
Urethra
Ansuresis
Lack of urination
Anuria
Lack of urine formation
Cystitis
inflammation of the urinary bladder, usually as a result of infection
Eneuresis
Involuntary urination usually at night
Endocrin/o
endocrine glands/system
Hypophys, pituitar
Pituitary gland
Thyr/o, thyroid/o
thyroid gland
Parathyr/o, parathyroid/o
Parathyroid gland
Adren/o, adrenal/o
Adrenal gland, epinephrine
Diabetes mellitus
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
Goiter
enlargement of the thyroid gland; may be toxic or nontoxic; simple(nontoxic) due to iodine deficiency
Graves disease
most common form of hyperthyroidism with weight loss, irritability, hand tremor, tachycardia and bulging eyeballs
Metabolic syndrome
state of hyperglycemia caused by cellular resistance to insulin — Type 2 diabetes; syndrome X; insulin resistance syndrome
