Medical Jargon
Many medical terms refer to various parts of the human body. These words are formed by root words
that are put together. If you understand the root words, you can understand the whole word used by
doctors when they are using their "medical jargon."
The list below contains some common root words used in medicine for parts of the body. Most are
derived from Latin or Greek. These roots are usually used as prefixes, which means they start the
word. But, be careful! Sometimes they are hidden in the middle of a term.
