As you have learned for each body system, it is important to know the medical terminology. Interacting with medical prefixes and suffixes deepens your understanding of the terms, which will allow you to have a better understanding of medical terminology when encountering them during your coursework as well as in your nursing profession. The objective of this assignment is to help you review the systems through the lens of deeper understanding in order to compile a list of most essential terms for each system.
