The abbreviations (acronyms) listed in these exercises have been extracted from recent health care publications and from lists of recommended learning materials produced by City and Guilds (AMSPAR) and SQA exams in medical terminology. Every unit of the interactive course contains flash cards on the combining forms of medical roots, prefixes and suffixes. |
Extracted from the recommended learning material for the Level 3 Certificate in Medical Terminology City & Guilds (AMSPAR) examination. |
The alveoli are the blindly ending air sacs found at the end of the airways in the lungs. These are essential for the efficient exchange of respiratory gases to keep us alive. In each alveolus oxygen diffuses into the blood whilst carbon dioxide (a waste gas ) leaves. Gases leaving the alveoli are breathed out in expired air.
Alveolitis - inflammation of the alveoli can cause difficulty in breathing and occasionally respiratory failure.
These assessments are similar in style to those used as part of the medical terminology course offered by City and Guilds (AMSPAR) arrangements for the training of medical secretaries, practice managers and administrators. AMSPAR works with City & Guilds to provide a range of nationally recognised qualifications.
This type of assessment is similar to those used as part of the medical terminology course offered by the Scottish Qualification Authority and can be used to practise spelling, associating words with their anatomical structures and analyzing medical terms. This type of assessment is not part of the interactive course but after following it you should be able to obtain a high score.
