Integumentary System derm/o,dermat/o - skin onych/o - pertaining to nails Skin protects the body against infection and extreme temperatures maintains balance of fluids and kerat/o - kerotin myc/o - fungus synthesizes vitamin D xer/o - dry pil/o - hair Epidermis: top layer made of stratified squamous, keratinocytes (keratin), melanocyte (melanin), xanth/o - yellow lip/o - fatty, lipid langerhans (eat invaders), merkel (right between EP and D responsible for touch) erythr/o - red rhytid/o - sebum Dermis: where there are glands, blood vessels and nerves pedicul/o - fingernail, toenail albin/o - white Hypodermis: fatty tissue Disease examples: ● eczema, shingles, gangrene, acne Health Careers ● Dermatologist, Esthetician

Musculoskeletal System my/o - muscle -pexy - surgical fixation It helps us move myel/o - nerve fibers chondr/o - cartilage Musculo - active part of the musculoskeletal system oste/o - bone arthr/o - joint Voluntary muscles: move when we want us too cost/o - ribs -plegia - stroke involuntary muscles: we have no control over like our heart or stomach crani/o - skull kinesis - movment Skeletal - gives us shape imobile/fixed joints - don’t move at all semi mobile - kinda move(vertible) mobile - movable (knee) Disease examples: ● Carpal tunnel, Tendonitis, Muscle / Tendon strain, Ligament Sprain Health Careers ● Myologist, Musculoskeletal Radiologist

neur/o - nerve Nervous System encephal/o - brain myel/o - bone/spinal cord “Mission control” ambul/o - walking Sensory input (feeling)t → integration (deciding what to do) → motor output (what we do) -esthesia - sensation Disease examples: mening/o - meninges psych/o - mind ● Cerebral palsy, Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, Multiple sclerosis concuss/o - concuss Health Careers ● Neurologist, Neurosurgeon.

Special Senses irid/o - iris Sensory cells translating chemical, electromagnetic, and mechanical, stimuli into action potentials that our nervous -cusis - hearing problem system can make sense of -opia - eye condition Taste ot/o - ear Taste buds have taste receptors. Saliva helps dissolve the particles and leads to the taste receptors tympan/o - eardrum Smell ophthalm/o - relating to the Olfactory (molecules go through nose and hit the olfactory, then the nerves takes it to the brain) eye Hearing Frequency -metry - to measure Balance Disease examples: ● Blindness,Cataracts, Deafness, Glaucoma. Health Careers ● Optician, dentist

Cardiovascular System cardi/o - heart thromb/o - blood clot Heart blood vessels, blood. angi/o - lymph vessels hem/o, hemat/o - blood -emia - pertaining to Heart moves blood and nutrients through the body and remove metabolic waste from the body -brady - slow blood -tachy - fast Heart leuk/o - white blood cells Pulmonary (right side of the heart pumps oxygen from the body to the lungs to oxygenate), systemic (left side pumps blood from the lungs to the body). erythr/o - red blood cell Blood vessels take blood through the body through areities(takes oxygenated blood to the arteri/o - artery body), and viens(brings oxygenated blood back to the heart). Disease examples: ● Coronary artery disease, High blood pressure, Cardiac arrest, Congestive heart failure Health Careers ● Interventional Cardiologist, Cardiac Surgeon

Respiratory System bronch/o - brochi pneum/o - lung The left lung has 2 lobes and the right has 3 cyan/o - blue pulmon/o - lungs laryng/o - laynx/o thorac/o - chest Airpath -oxia - oxygen trache/o - trachea oxy- containing oxygen 1. nose/mouth pleur/o - plura 2. Trachea 3. At the carinia it breaks into two bronchi 4. Then to bronchioles 5. Then to alveoli (air sacs) here, oxygen from the air you inhale goes into the blood and the CO2 in the blood goes into the lungs Lungs are encased in a plethora which protects it and helps it slide Under the lungs is the diaphragm which helps you inhale and exhale The lymphatic system moves bacteria and other unwanted substances away from the lungs Disease examples: ● Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Chronic Bronchitis, Lung Cancer ● Health Careers ● Registered Respiratory Therapist, RRT, Adult Critical Care Specialty, ACCS

Reproductive System cervic/o - neck men/o - menstruation Includes: internal sex organs, gametes, and hormons/glands salping/o - tubes mamm/o - breast Overies: Reslese gametes and sex hormones ov/o - egg gynec/o - woman Oesites: proto eggs orchid/o - testical colp/o - vagina Oogenesis: egg creation oophor/o - ovary prostat/o - prostate Menstrual cycle: to prepare for egg fertilization Ovarian cycle: maturation of the egg Disease examples: ● HIV/AIDS, Interstitial Cystitis, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), Sexually Transmitted Diseases Health Careers ● Gynecologist, Embryologist
