Those who work in the medical profession use a specialized language called Medical Terminology to describe the objects and situations encountered in their fields, such as anastamosis and myocardial. The words or terms that make up the language of medicine are referred to as the terminology of the medical field, or Medical Terminology. Although languages usually change over time, the basis for medical terminology remains constant as the majority of medical terms are based in Latin or Greek.1.
The use of a medical dictionary or Internet search engine is most helpful in learning the exact meaning of a medical term. However, if the basic concepts of word building are understood, many words are understandable to the student of medical terminology.or example, the word eye is a word root in English that can be used without modification in a sentence. An additional challenge to the student of medical terminology is that the formation of the plural of a word must be done using the rules of forming the proper plural form as used in the source language.
