Help Needed for Homework Medical Abbreviations

Published

I start school at Boces for LPN on Monday. At registration I received a homework packet which is to be handed in on the first day of class (3/21). It says to define the following medical abbreviations. I have tried looking them up online and have no luck. I havent received the required Medical Terminology textbook in the mail yet, so I cannot use that for help. Here are a few examples of medical abbrev.

Arteri, Brady, Cyano, Derma, Erythro...etc.

any help would be appreciated! Thanks :)

Arteri = pertaining to arteries (ie arteriosclerosis)

Brady = Slow (ie Bradycardia means slow heart rate)

Cyano = Bluish in color (ie cyanosis is the appearance of blue coloration of the skin)

Derma = skin

Erythro = red (ie Erythrocyte = red blood cell)

Congrats =)
