Description:
This ILT Series course introduces students to common root words that are the building blocks for the majority of medical terms. Students will learn about
terms for various systems, including the musculoskeletal, integumentary, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, urinary, reproductive, and neurosensory
systems, as well as directional terms. They will also learn about prefix and suffixes, and common medical abbreviations used in hospitals and lab tests.
Finally, students will learn how to determine the meaning of a long medical word by dissecting the individual pieces (prefix, root, suffix).
