help me remember all this- Welcome to chapter 6. Here we will be looking at some additional suffixes and digestive system terminology. This chapter gives us some practice in word building. Well, we won't be introducing a large number of new terms, so it will use many familiar terms from chapter 5, which should help to give you a little bit of a a breather from all all your hard work learning the new terminology. In this chapter, we will define some new suffixes and use them with the digestive system combining forms. In addition, we will list and explain some laboratory tests, clinical procedures, and abbreviations common to the digestive system. And we'll apply our new knowledge to understanding medical terms in their proper context such as medical reports and records. To begin, we'll take a look at a few new suffixes. Ectasis or ectasia means dilation or widening. Collangiactasis of course we know collangio means the bile duct. So this is the dilation of the bile duct. Emmesis means vomiting. Hematicis means that you are vomiting with some bright red blood within the vomit. It's often associated with esophageal veraces or a peptic ulcer. Pepsia refers to digestion. Disyepsia means means indigestion. Fasia refers to eating or swallowing. Polyphasia means that you have an excessive appetite and uncontrolled eating. Plasti is surgical repair. Abdominal plasti is common referred to commonly referred to as a tummy tuck. P T Y S I S means spitting. Rege R H A G E or rea R R H A G I A means bursting forth of blood. So hemorrhage is the loss of a large amount of blood in a short period of time. R R H A P H Y means a suture. Ria we've talked about before meaning flow or discharge. Diarrhea is again the frequent flow of feces or the discharge of watery stools. Spasm is the involuntary control of muscles. A bronco spasm is a spasm of the smooth muscle in our bronchi. Stasis is stopping or controlling. Chalistasis is controlling the flow of bile from the liver to the douodenum. Stenosis is a narrowing or tightening. Pyloric stenosis is a congenital defect where there is a blocking of flow of food into the small intestines. Traasia t r e s i a means an opening. Atraasia means means an absence of a normal opening. There are some suffixes that are used alone as separate terms. Emmesis or emmitic is if a child swallows poison the physician may prescribe a drug to induce emmesis. Lis the disease called lis in or of the liver cells. A spasm. For instance, when you eat spicy foods, it can lead to a spasm of your gastric sphincters. Stasis. An overgrowth of bacteria within the small intestine can cause stasis of the intestinal contents. And stenosis. For instance, projectile vomiting in an infant during feeding is a clinical sign of pyloric stenosis. Okay. So, page 191 and 192 of your textbook has some more terminology. In this case, you are to indicate the meaning. So, I will indicate a combining form, give you a moment, and then identify the meaning. Please be sure to fill in the pages in your text. book with these meanings. BUCO cheek seco is seeum celio refers to the abdomen. Chilo refers to the lip. Koli is gull or bile. Collangio is a bile duct or vessel. Choleic systo refers to the gallbladder. Kolco refers to the common bile duct. Colo and colono. Both relate to the colon. Denty. Tooth. Duodino relates to the duodum. Entro is the intestines. esophage. The esophagus, gastro, the stomach, gingivo, our gums, glosso, The tongue, gluco and glyco. Sugar. Hippato is the liver. Herno relates to a hernia. Ilio is the ilium. Gino is the junum. Labio is the lip. Lingual tongue. Lipo is fat. Litho is a stone. Odonto relates to a tooth. Borro is our mouth. Palato is our pallet. Pancreat. The pancreas. Procto. the anus and the rectum. Pyloro, the pyloric sphincter. Recto, the rectum, salad. Our salivary gland. Spleno means the spleen. Stat fat. And finally stmato. is our mouth. Okay. So now let's talk about a few different laboratory tests and clinical procedures. AMAs and lipase tests will test for the levels of amalayise and lipase enzymes in your blood. There are liver function tests or LFTs and they will test for the presence of enzymes and bilyubin in your blood. A stool culture will test for microscopic or microorganisms present in the feces. A stool guak test or hemocult test will test to detect oult or hidden blood in the feces. There are some clinical procedures that can help. to diagnose different diseases or conditions within the digestive system. X-ray imaging is used in many ways to detect pathological conditions. In dental practice, for instance, X-ray images are commonly used to locate cavities or carries. Many of the X-ray tests listed here use a contrast medium and this is used to visualize a specific area of the digestive system. A lower gastrointestinal series or a barerium enema. This is where X-ray images of the colon and the rectum are obtained after the injection of barerium into the rectum. An upper gastrointestinal series. This is where X-ray images of the esophagus, stomach and small intestine are obtained after administering barerium by mouth. Collangography X-ray examination of the billery system performed after injection of contrast into the bile ducts. Computed tomography CT This is a series of X-ray images that are taken in multiple views, especially in a cross-section. A CT scan uses a circular array of X-ray beams to produce the cross-sectional image based on differences in tissue densities. The use of contrast material allows visualization of organs and blood vessels and highlights differences in blood flow between normal and diseased tissues. Abdominal ultraography. This is where sound waves beamed into the abdomen produce an image of abdominal visca. Ultraography is especially useful for examin examination of fluid fil structures such as the gallbladder. Endoscopic ultraography or E EU S. This uses an endoscope combined with ultrasound to examine the organs of the GI tract. An endoscope is inserted through the mouth or the rectum and ultrasound images are obtained. This test is often used in assessing esophageal, pancreatic and rectal cancers. Magnetic resonance imaging or MRI uses magnetic waves to produce images of organs and tissues in all three planes of the body. This technique does not use X-rays. MRIs detect subtle differences in tissue composition, water content, and blood vessel density, and can show sites of trauma, infection, or cancer. A nuclear medicine test known as a Haida scan. H I D A scan is when radioactive imaging will produce images that track the production and flow of bile from the liver and gallbladder to the intestine. Other procedures are a gastric bypass or beriatric surgery. This is when The size of the stomach is reduced. Food is then diverted to the gigum. A gastrointestinal endoscopy is a visual examination of the GI tract using an endoscope. A physician will place a flexible fiber optic tube through the mouth or the anus to view parts of the GI tract. An example is a colonoscopy. A laparoscopy is a visual endoscopic examination of the abdomen with a laparoscope inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. A liver biopsy is removal of liver tissue for microscopic examination. This procedure helps to diagnose cerosis, chronic hepatitis and tumors of the liver. Nasogastric intubation is the insertion of a tube through the nose into the stomach. Physicians use an NG tube to remove fluid post-operatively and to obtain gastric or intestinal contents for analysis. Paracentesis or abdominal centesis is the cervical p sorry surgical puncture to remove fluid from the abdomen. This procedure is necessary to drain fluid accumulated as in the case of a sites. Okay. So to wrap up this chapter we're going to learn some abbreviations. as if the suffixes, prefixes, and combining forms are not enough. But there are some very common abbreviations, and these are ones that relate to our digestive system. An AFP is an alpha fatal protein, a tumor marker for liver cancer. Al K P H O S alk foss is alkaline phosphatase. Alt and al sorry alt and as refer to alanine transmise and aspartate transsey measured to evaluate liver function. in blood. B E is a barerium enema. B M is a bowel movement. BRB PR bright red blood per rectum. This means hematocesia. CD is celiac disease. CT is computed tomography. EGD, bear with me on this one. EGD is a sopho gastro duodenoscopy. ERCP is endoscopic retrograde collangiopanc. E US is an endoscopic ultraography. FOBT is a fecal oult blood test. A G tube is a gastron gastron gastronomy tube a feeding tube. GB is gallbladder. Gird ge r d is gastro esophageal reflux disease. GI is gastrointestinal. HBV is hepatitis B virus. IBD inflammatory bowel disease referring to Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. A J tube is a jigenoscopy. A jigenostomy tube, sorry, a feeding tube. A lac is a laparoscopic assisted callectomy. LFTs are liver function tests. The most common are elk foss Billy Rubin, A and ALT. MRI is magnetic resonance imaging. NAFL is non-alcoholic statoapotitis or fatty liver. An NG tube is a nasogastric tube. NP O means nothing by mouth. Peg tube is a perccutaneous endoscopic gastronomy tube or a feeding tube. PEJ tube. PEG tube is a perccutaneous endoscopic genosttomy tube or a feeding tube. PTH C is a perccutaneous transipatic calangioraphy. PUD is peptic ulcer disease. TPN is total parental nutrition. Parental nutrition. A T tube is a special tube shaped like the letter T placed in the bile duct for drainage into a small pouch or a bile bag outside of the body. So these are some abbreviations that could be found on medical reports or used by health care professionals to describe various conditions or tests. that could be done relating to the digestive system. Located within your presentation is a review of some suffixes previously learned. Please make sure to review your Moodle presentation in its entirety. Read chapter 6 completely. Complete the exercises at the back of the chapter as well as as complete the pronunciation of terms section or vocabulary section in the back of this chapter starting on page 210. Very important that you also take a look at the review sheets at the back of the chapters that again will review some of the combining forms, suffixes, and pref prefixes learned both in this chapter and previously. Once you have completed all of these activities, be sure to do your self assessment in Moodle to test your knowledge. That completes our look at the digestive system and its function as well as the medical terminology involved in the digestive system. Next up in chapter 7 is the urinary system. Happy studying until then.
