Which Form 2350 Jargon 2023-2024

Hi everyone, welcome to the Penguin Prof channel. Today, I want to talk about how to approach medical terminology, what I like to call breaking up, which isn't hard to do. The key, of course, is to take big complicated problems and to break them down into small, more manageable pieces. This is true for language as well as the rest of life. The problem, of course, as I've mentioned in other videos, is that in science and medicine, we use a lot of terms that come from Greek and Latin roots. So, I highly recommend that as you master all these pieces, you keep a list, or better yet, get yourself a dictionary of Greek and Latin roots, and you just build your skill set from the bottom up. And it gets easier as you go, I promise. The first thing to understand is that you got to break words down into their component parts, and most medical and science terms will have a beginning, which we call a prefix, a middle, which is the root of the word, and then an ending, which is the suffix. And so usually, the prefix and/or the suffix is a modifier of the main root of the word. So you will probably notice, if you haven't already, that medical terms are really long, and it's very daunting for a lot of people. But the truth is, most of them are very descriptive, and they mean something. So if you can break them down, it's not going to be too bad. I mean, when you first look at these terms, you can just say, you know, forget it, this is ridiculously long, or you can just say, look, you know, break them down, and they become more manageable. So all I want to...
