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.
Some examples are: R.I.C.E., trapezius, and latissimus dorsi. It is to be used in the medical and nursing fields. Suffixes are attached to the end of a word root to add meaning such as condition, disease process, or procedure. In the process of creating medical terminology, certain rules of language apply. These rules are part of language mechanics called linguistics.
